  • West Midlands Charities Receive Donations of Treats
    The Geoff Horsefield Foundation were one of 16 regional charities to receive a donation May 04, 2020 02:00 BST West Midlands charities receive donations of treats Connecting with Trussell Trust Foodbanks in Erdington, Longbridge, Smithswood and Aston & Nechells, the Bournville-based business delivered treats to locations across the region. With foodbanks relying on food donations more than ever to feed local people in crisis, the contributions will help the Trussell Trust to continue providing essential support during this challenging time. As a small, sweet appreciation to NHS staff across the region, Cadbury Easter products were donated to Birmingham’s Children’s Hospital, Birmingham Women’s Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, The Priory Hospital, NHS Burton, Hollymoor Ambulance Hub and the Ambulance Centre in Erdington in time for the holiday period. The snacking company also donated treats to care homes and elderly people across the West Midlands including Roxton and Asprey care homes in Sutton Coldfield, Bournville Village Trust and Stirchley Care home. Rosemary Cripps, volunteer coordinator of the Aston & Nechells Trussell Trust Foodbank, said: “It’s no surprise that this period is putting substantial pressure on foodbanks across the country, therefore we’re delighted and really appreciate the support from Mondelēz International at this time, as well as all year round. “Time and again over the past decade, foodbanks across the UK – aided by a generous public who have donated time, food and money – have stepped up to protect people on the lowest incomes in our communities. Now more than ever, we need any support possible across all our foodbanks.” Kelly Farrell, community affairs manager at Mondelēz International, commented: “I’m so proud of the way our teams at Cadbury World, Minworth and Bournville have come together to support their local communities at this time of need.

  • New £7.6 Million Park and Ride at Longbridge Railway Station Opens
    New £7.6 million park and ride at Longbridge Railway Station opens August 16, 2021 Motorists in south Birmingham are being offered an alternative to busy traffic jams on the A38 Bristol Road with the new Longbridge multi-storey car park opening today (Monday 16 August). Built next to Longbridge Railway Station, the £7.6 million multi-storey is one of Birmingham’s largest park and ride facilities. It features more than 600 spaces, CCTV security cameras, electric vehicle charging points, lifts and a range of convenient ways to pay the £3 per day charge (£2 on weekends and bank holidays). Construction finished during spring 2020 but with lockdown cutting demand for park and ride spaces, the multi-storey has remained under wraps ever since. But with more people returning to work and more businesses, particularly in the hospitality and tourism sector, opening up following the lifting of Covid restrictions, the car park is now opening to the public. The car park has been developed by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), to give motorists an alternative to the busy A38 Bristol Road and an affordable alternative to driving into and parking in Birmingham city centre. Commuters can also use the neighbouring railway station to take fast and frequent services on the Cross City Line to the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Sutton Coldfield town centre and Lichfield. Cllr Ian Ward, the WMCA portfolio lead for transport and leader of Birmingham City Council, said: “This fantastic new car park offers motorists an affordable alternative to driving into and parking in Birmingham city centre or other key destinations like the university and hospital.
