We’re enjoying delivering grant support sessions to people interested in applying for Celebrating Communities grants. Celebrating Communities is a £2m fund set up by Birmingham City Council to help community and voluntary groups make the most of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

There is an interesting article talking about the Stirchley Cooperative Development that was approved for planning in late January. It includes quotes from Stirchley residents and Steve McCabe, MP for Birmingham Selly Oak (which covers Stirchley).
“Approved by Birmingham City Council on 21 January, the £6.6m development will include 39 flats and three retail units in Stirchley. It will also feature a new community space including a pedestrian walkway, seating, a community garden, cycle parking and a closed panel timber frame building.”
The rest of the article can be found on the coop news website.
PCSO Jenene Tandy (Birmingham West, Selly Oak constituency, Bournville ward) has advised that the ward has experienced higher than normal levels of vehicle crime over the last few days.
Offenders have approached both secure and insecure vehicles and gained entry. Once inside, an untidy search has taken place with various items, including electrical goods and small change, taken.
Targeted areas have been Acacia Road, Oxford Street, Linden Road, Franklin Road, and Bunbury Road.
They are reminding motorists not to leave anything of value in their vehicles or on display that may tempt a potential offender.
