The funding will be used to hold cookery and go-karting sessions for young people in the Heathfield Park area and Wolverhampton City Council Youth Worker Saj Rauf said: "This is fantastic news.

"The young people themselves put together the funding bid and I'm delighted that we'll now be able to stage these activities.

"This is a great way to use funding which has been made available from the Property Act Fund - and just as importantly, it has helped to develop relationships between local young people and the police."
