    Longdon Life Spring 2016 LONGDON LIFE Spring 2016 Letter from the Chairman Hello all, I hope you are enjoying the signs of Spring and the lighter mornings and evenings. To begin, I would like to take the opportunity, to thank on behalf of the Parish, three Councillors who have resigned over THANK YOU the last few months; Richard Clarke, Chris Cherry, Jane Cleaver. You have all invested long hours, and hard work over the years, and it is very much appreciated. Thankyou. I would also like to welcome our new Councillor Ann Fullwood, who brings highly relevant experience, and a desire to help us improve. I am confident that you will get to know Ann, because she walks huge distances around the Parish. This does still leave us with vacancies, please would you consider joining our team and play a part in improving the community in which you live. In previous editions of Longdon Life, I have used the strap-line for the Parish Council… ‘Our role is to listen to you, our Parishioners, to establish what is required, and take action accordingly.’ So what have we been doing? Here are some examples of current work, which indicate that we are responding directly to Parishioners concerns: x pushing Staffordshire County Council (SCC): to complete a safety review of all the roads and lanes in the Parish; requesting they complete the traffic calming proposal for Upper Way; reporting current footpath and bridleway blockages x working with Lichfield District Council (LDC): challenging current inappropriate planning applications in the Parish; receiving their comments regarding the Neighbourhood Plan; x starting to explore with the Parish, the possibility of a ‘parish organised’ transport scheme x improving our image by agreeing a refurbishment plan for all the Parish Council owned wooden assets, e.g.

Retail Market Trends – the national picture 2. Sutton Town Centre – the fundamentals : - layout and structure - environmental quality - accessibility 3. Sutton Town Centre – non-retail uses 4. Sutton Town Centre – trends in retail representation : 5. Sutton Town Centre – expanding the retail offer 6. Development Potential : specific sites 7. Suggested physical and promotional measures Appendices 1. How the town centre divides up (plan) 2. Main components of the shopping core (aerial photograph) 3. Retail composition (Goad Plan extract) 4. The Solihull factor 5. The Fort Retail Park – retail mix 6. Ventura Retail Park – retail mix 7. House of Fraser – Sutton Coldfield relaunch 2 CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES In 2016 the Sutton Coldfield electorate voted in favour of establishing a town council to represent the interests of the town in a more focused way than is realistically possible for Birmingham City Council. Sutton’s population of some 95,000 covers a wide area that extends from the Staffordshire border to Wylde Green, and from the west side of Sutton Park across to Walmley. Despite the size of this area and its substantial population, it is dwarfed by the sheer scale of Birmingham City which has a total population of 1.2 million; to the south-west the continuous built-up area reaches as far as Rubery (15 miles from the centre of Sutton).
