May I firstly wish all a very happy new year
My apologies for not being able to attend the January Stirchley Neighbourhood Forum. As I have another meeting which clashes.
Work is currently ongoing on Fordhouse Lane, by Severn Trent with pipe renewal. Temporary lights will be used along the road.
Also on Fordhouse Lane the land at rear of former Firework shop The land near bus stop has been sold. As yet no details re what will happen. The land has been cleared, and tarmacked and a metal cabin installed. Rumours say a Car lot. Planning have not received any notice. Residents living on Pershore Road are rightly concerned as they need access.
There will be a foodbank collection in part of Stirchley on Saturday 28th January. At about 11 am. Leaflets will be put out around the roads collecting from Leahouse Road, Bournville Lane, Bond Street, Regent Street, and Oxford Street. 10 days before.
The Mobile Household Recycling Centre will be on Beilby Road on Tuesday 31st January 7am until 12 noon. Leafleting will be done 7-10 days prior and also on social media.
Next Police Tasking meeting will be Saturday 28th January at Cotteridge Church 2pm. All are welcome to attend. I am sorry to hear that Sergeant Howell is leaving this job and taking on another job within the force. I thank him for all his work and wish him well in his new career.
