The CEO welcomed the acknowledgement within the UCF of the importance of the role that urban centres should play in helping to deliver future economic growth and the identification of Sutton Coldfield as a Centre for Transformation. Concerns were raised however about the lack of clarity and any meaningful detail in terms of how the aspirations set out would be delivered. Concern was also raised about the status of the 2009 Regeneration Framework Supplementary Planning Document which is still extant though out of date adding that t the links between the UCF as a context for the development of future masterplans should be made clearer. The Report identified that Sutton Coldfield would be an ideal candidate for the Government’s Future High Street Fund and urged Birmingham City Council to submit an Expression of Interest for support from this fund for Sutton Coldfield Town Centre. Resolved to respond to the Urban Centres Framework consultation on the basis set out in the report (attached). 117 Notice of Motion submitted by Cllr Puri on 20 January 2019 Cllr Puri read out his motion. Cllr Hodgins suggested an amendment of an additional line to be added to the motion. ‘On 4th September 2018, after an innovative bid, led by West Midlands Mayor Andy Street, The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport announced the West Midlands Combined Authority as the preferred partner for their Urban Connected Communities Project. This will see the development of a large-scale, 5G pilot across the region, with hubs in Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton. This is an unprecedented opportunity for the region to start laying down the digital infrastructure for the future and I would like to propose Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council put forward the case to WMCA and DCMS for Sutton Coldfield to be a part of the ongoing Test Beds and Trials Programme – the first of its kind anywhere in the world.

  • Wylde Green Farm Sutton Coldfield
    Wylde Green Farm Sutton Coldfield By Alan J. H. Howells. Sutton's Farmland On the south side of Sutton Coldfield, the borough boundary of the town, before it became part of Birmingham in 1974, was near Chester Road; in the early 20th century, Erdington Urban District Council lay to the south of this boundary. Until the second half of the century, travelling along Birmingham Road towards the south, most of the town's houses finished at Maney, with its smithy and travellers' inn, 'The Horse and Jockey'. Much of the remaining land between Maney and the borough boundary near Chester Road was agricultural, with fields and farms. This formed a green belt from Boldmere (common and waste land) eastward through Wylde Green and Penns (farmland) to Walmley Village (commons) and 'Beyond the Wood'. (See map A) Location of the Farm Wylde Green Farm had been farming an area of this green belt for centuries. The farm was situated on the east (Walmley) side of Birmingham Road at Wylde Green, just off Wylde Green Road, behind the large, ostentatious Wylde Green House. There were only a few early Victorian large houses built in the area before 1850, and these were situated in the countryside along the edge of the rural Birmingham to Sutton turnpike road at Wylde Green. These residences had stables and carriage houses to accommodate their means of transport to and from their businesses, usually in Birmingham. The remainder of the area was fields, let out to tenant farmers or smallholders by their wealthy owners. A transport revolution in the area started in 1862 with the opening of the London and North Western Railway line from Birmingham to Sutton, with stations at Chester Road and Wylde Greenl This resulted in land being used for building on the western (Boldmere) side of Birmingham Road, including fields belonging to the farm.

  • July / August 2020
    July / August 2020 50p St Michael’s Boldmere Medical experts were asked if it is time to ease the lockdown. Allergists were in favour of scratching it, but Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. Gastroenterologists had a sort of gut feeling about it, but Neurologists thought the government had a lot of nerve. Obstetricians felt certain everyone was labouring under a misconception, while Ophthalmologists considered the idea short- sighted. Many Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while Paediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!" Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and pharmacists claimed it would be a bitter pill to swallow. Plastic Surgeons believed that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter." Podiatrists thought it was a step forward. Anaesthetists suggested that the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn‘t have the heart to say no. Dear Friends, When I was given the rota for writing the opening comment for the Church magazine and saw I was to write the one for July and August, I thought I would be writing about summer holidays, breaking up from school, having a time for rest and relaxation – of charging our batteries for the next busy part of the year. Little did I or anyone know what was about to happen. Little did we know that we would all go into lockdown and our lives would completely change. Since then there has been an easing of lockdown, but really very little has changed for many of us, and as the weeks go on the easing relaxes more.
