Joint Statement from Mosques of Birmingham JOINT STATEMENT FROM MOSQUES OF BIRMINGHAM From: The undersigned Birmingham Mosques & Islamic Organisations Date: 12th June 2020 Subject: Statement on Places of worship re-opening for individual prayer The UK Government has confirmed that Places of worship across England will be permitted to reopen for individual prayer from Saturday 13th June. Although individual prayer will be permitted, the guidance does not allow for communally led prayer, which is the main purpose of the mosque. For the Muslim community, this means that our mosques will have to remain closed for the five daily congregational prayers and Friday Jumuah prayer. The Muslim community is eager for the full reopening of the mosques for congregational prayer and we hope that we can stay on course for the original forecasted date of 4th July 2020, respecting that this will be dependent on the situation closer to the time. The Birmingham mosques are working with the BCC Public Health Department to ensure that the safety of our congregations and the public is at the forefront of any plans to fully reopen on the 4th July, and we are incorporating social distancing and other protective measures to prevent infection. The Muslim community has shown great patience over the past few months with the closure of the mosques, to help prevent the spread of infection and save lives. We now advise our communities to remain patient until the mosques fully reopen for congregational prayer and religious gatherings. “O you who believe! Seek help in patience and prayer. Truly Allah is with those who are patient.” (Qur’an 2:153) Undersigned mosques: Birmingham Central Mosque, Kowneyn Community Center and Mahmud Sabir Masjid (Al Highgate Masjid Attarbiya, Nechells Furqan), Tyseley Green Lane Mosque & Hodge Hill Masjid and Community Wisdom Islamic Cultural Centre, Community Centre, Small Heath Centre, Hodge Hill Nechells Witton Islamic Centre, Aston Al Hijrah Masjid, Small Heath Eidgah Academy, Perry Barr Jami Mosque and Islamic Centre, Small Heath Sultan Bahu Trust, Birmingham Masjid Ali, Saltley Islamic Education Centre MAB Birmingham Minhajul Quran international Alum Rock Muslim Students House Masjid, KSIMC of Birmingham, Balsall Mohammadi Masjid, Alum Rock Balsall Heath Heath The Amanah Masjid (part of the Paigham-E-Islam Trust Masjid, Jamatia Islamic Centre, Sparkhill Muath Trust), Sparkbrook Sparkhill Anjuman-E-lslam Masjid Trust, Huda Masjid and Community Sparkbrook Islamic Centre, Aston Centre, Newtown Sparkbrook Alum Rock Islamic Centre, Alum Masjid Al Falaah, Aston Quba Islamic Centre, Nechells Rock Abrahamic Foundation, Arrahma Islamic Centre, Small Masjid Attarbiya, Nechells Heath Smethwick Minhajul Quran International, Jamiatus Salam, Ward End Zia ul Quran Masjid, Alum Rock Alum Rock .

    Local Government Boundary Commission For England Report No. 5 2 Principal Area Boundary Review CITY of BIRMINGHAM and the METROPOLITAN BOROUGH of SOUHULL LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOH ENGLAND REPORT NO. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Mr G J Ellerton CMC MBE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J G Powell FRIGS FSVA MEMBERS Lady Ackner Mr G R Prentice Professor G E Cherry Mr K J L Newell Mr B Scholes QBE THE RT. HON. NICHOLAS RIDLEY MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT INTRODUCTION 1. In a letter dated 31 December 1979, Birmingham City Council requested us to undertake a review of their boundary with Solihull Metropolitaneorough in the vicinity of Kingsleigh Drive, Castle. Bromwich. The request resulted from a petition to the City Council from residents of the Birmingham part of Kingsleigh Drive requesting the Council to apply to us to move the Birmingham boundary to the A452, thereby bringing the whole of Kingsleigh Drive into Solihull. 2. We ascertained that the West Midlands County Council supported Birmingham City Council's request for a review in this area. Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council fully supported the review and felt that the boundary should'-be- moved to the M6 Motorway, the north-bound exit road at Junction 5 and the Newport Road, which they considered was the most obvious boundary between the two districts. 3. We examined the City Council's request in the light of section 48(5) of the T-T:II Government Act 1972. We concluded that although all three councils had agreed upon the need for a review it was desirable to have an agreed scheme from the two district authorities, if possible.

  • Hodge Hill Jobs and Skills Plan Produced Oct 15 Actions Updated July 2016 & March 2017 Overview of Hodge Hill District 1
    District Committee 16 March 2017 - Appendix 1 Hodge Hill Jobs and Skills Plan Produced Oct 15 Actions updated July 2016 & March 2017 Overview of Hodge Hill District 1 Hodge Hill District extends east from the city centre to the city boundary with Solihull. It is composed of 4 wards – Bordesley Green, Hodge Hill, Shard End and Washwood Heath. Significant parts of the district experiences some very challenging conditions in terms of labour market status, with very high levels of unemployment and worklessness . Hodge Hill District has a younger age profile to the city with a higher proportion of 0-15s and a smaller proportion of over 45s, and this is also true of all wards apart from Shard End. Overall, the proportion of working age adults (59%) is below the city average (64%). There are 12,674 residents aged 18-24 equating to 10% of the population, compared to 12 % for Birmingham. The ethnic profile of the working age population in the district differs to that of the city, with a much lower proportion of white working age residents (37%) compared to the city average (59%). But this masks ward variations, with the proportion only 13% in Washwood Heath, and 15% in Bordesley Green wards, but much closer to the city average at 46% in Hodge Hill ward. In contrast, 84% of Shard End residents are white. Overall, the largest non-white groups are Pakistani (38%) and Bangladeshi (5%). The Pakistani group forms over 50% of the population in Bordesley Green and Washwood Heath wards, but only 3% in Shard End ward.
