Chair – Heidi Murphy
Vice Chair – Rob Morris
Treasurer – Paula Aubrey
Secretary – Sandra Cooper
Publicity Officer  – vacant
Planning Officer – Sandra Cooper
Without portfolio – Margaret Walker & Julie Rynne

The committee is pleased to tell you that we have visitors at our December meeting on Monday evening. Claire Hardwick & John Richardson from Birmingham City Council will be coming to discuss Neighbourhood Planning.

It would be helpful if you could take a look at the Birmingham Neighbourhood Planning toolkit before the meeting so you will have lots of questions for them.
It can be found at https://www.localvisions.co.uk/

Our usual meeting will follow. There will be less time than usual so please let us know of any items of any other business before the meeting if possible so that we can allocate enough time.

We look forward to seeing you at 7.30 Stirchley Community Church.

At September’s meeting, Lee Hands representing Tricas Construction Ltd will be attending to discuss the building of the Stirchley Cooperative Development at the corner of Pershore Road and Hunts Road (next to the British Oak pub). Lee will be here to answer your questions and listen to any concerns.

There will also be a planning update and a chance for networking and to raise any community matters with fellow residents.

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting last week. There was a lively discussion about the draft Ward Plan and great to hear from a number of residents who attended the police tasking meeting in Cotteridge to raise concerns of Stirchley residents.

The minutes for March’s Stirchley Neighbourhood Forum are available here.

As you will notice from the minutes, there is a change to the next meeting. Usually the Forum is held on the second Monday of the month, but April has Easter Monday and May is filled with Bank Holiday Mondays due to May Day and the additional holiday for the Coronation. It has been decided to skip the April meeting but have one in May, but on a slightly different day. Therefore, the next meeting will be Monday 15th May, 7.30pm at Stirchley Community Church
