There is still no news coming my way, at least, about what the Councils expensive consultants are proposing, regarding the redevelopment of the Druids Heath area.
We all need to be mindful that they have been requested to give serious consideration of increasing the number of homes in this area, from 2,300 to at least 4,800.
My real concern is to achieve this figure; vast areas of green open space will have to be sacrificed.
Furthermore what plans are there for the many residents who own their own homes.
I think we all want to know and know NOW!
A Campaign To Save The Allens Croft Project
A rent hike by Birmingham City Council, could threaten The Allens Croft Family Project. The project which has been helping families in the northern end of the ward since 1988, has built up a strong reputation with residents and many other organisations, with the quality of support and advice they are able to give.
I was able to hand in a petition to The Lord Mayor and speak about the benefits the project has had for a good number of residents at the Council meeting.
Here I am with Steve McCabe MP, with users and supporters of The Project just before handing in the petition to a Full Council Meeting.

CHINN BROOK:
CLEAN-UP
During November I took part with two residents groups in cleaning up Chinn Brook.
The first occasion was with the Friends of Jasmin Field, working on the land near to St Albans School Bayston Road.
The second time was with residents from Druids Heath, cleaning the brook at th
e rear of Pennyacre Road.
There are two more planned clean-up days, one in February 2009 the other in March2009.

By the way that is me, working, in the middle photograph, with three others trying to pull an old security fence out of the brook and it was very hard work.
