Representing Stirchley Residents
Simon Foster, West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner will be attending our October meeting on Monday 13th October. This is an opportunity to discuss topics relating to Stirchley and West Midlands Police in general.
Please come along to Stirchley Community Church at 7.30pm to join us.
Residents will no doubt have noticed there are a lot of roadworks happening in Stirchley, mostly along the Pershore Road and high street. This is causing a lot of traffic in the area, as works are being carried out.
The roadworks for Breedon Bridge / Lifford Lane / Pershore Rd, which appeared today (16 August) are due to end in a week on 22/8/24, as are the ones near Morrisons.
The roadworks on Stirchley high street by British Oak are due to take a little longer, but are to be completed 30/8/24. This is due to the need to the need to excavate down within highway to expose existing foul / surface water sewers, and install new drainage lengths.
The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run takes place on Sunday 5th May.
Whilst the route does not pass into the Stirchley ward, it will mean that a significant amount of the Pershore Road will be closed for most of the day. The route means that Pershore Road (South of Edgbaston) to Dog Pool Lane will be closed from 4am until 3.30pm on the day.
A full list of the road closures can be found on the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run website.

Calling all residents of Breedon, Shirley and Heathcote Roads!
A small group of parents at Cotteridge Primary School have formed the ‘Safer Together School Streets’ group. They are currently working hard to help make the roads around the school safer for residents and children at the busy school drop off and pick up times. They hope this will also enable more green, active travel for school families.
The group will be putting in an expression of interest for the Birmingham City Council ‘School Streets’ scheme on 30th November. They hope this will enable them to discuss several solutions to make roads safer during morning drop off and afternoon pick up.
Please note these are NOT permanent road closures and are different to the Low Traffic Neighbourhood scheme where planters permanently block the road.
Safer Together School Streets group are currently seeking opinions of families at school, and are keen to involve the local residents (several of whom have completed the form linked below already).
If you live on or know anyone who lives on Breedon, Shirley or Heathcote roads please complete or forward them this link: https://forms.office.com/e/txqvi3nqw6. Perhaps help a neighbour to complete it if they don’t enjoy technology.
The deadline for this survey is: 1200 (Noon) on Tuesday 28th November
