COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Weekly Update from Birmingham City Council COVID-19 (coronavirus) weekly update from Birmingham City Council 2021-06-11 Coronavirus weekly update from Birmingham City Council Welcome to the coronavirus weekly update from Birmingham City Council. The update lets you know about Birmingham City Council’s services, public health information, general advice on Covid-19, and other relevant news from the council and our partners so that we can keep you informed. If you have friends and family who are not online, please share the information in this bulletin with them. You can find a full suite of information about Covid-19 on the council’s website Covid-19 news Around one in three people who have COVID-19 have no symptoms and could be spreading it without knowing. Testing twice a week for people without symptoms will help stop the virus spreading – and is playing a vital role in keeping life moving for us all. Free COVID-19 tests are available for all adults in England. Find out all you need to know about testing. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 entering our schools, families should continue taking rapid tests twice a week. Remember to wash your hands regularly and open up windows to let fresh air in. And if you’re out and about this weekend, remember to keep a safe distance from others to help stop the spread. Have you been told to self-isolate? It's important that you do to protect others – but it can be tough, so the council and Healthy Brum have put together some practical tips and support to get you through. The COVID vaccine has the same expected high standards of safety, quality and efficacy as other medicines and vaccines. The vaccine reduces chances of hospitalisation by 85%. You can book your COVID-19 vaccination appointment online or by calling 119 if you are aged 25 or over. COVID support payments of £500 are available if you have to self-isolate. You may be eligible if you are on low income, can’t work from home, face financial hardship or have a child who is self-isolating.

  • Alexander Stadium Redevelopment
    APPENDIX FULL BUSINESS CASE (FBC) A. GENERAL INFORMATION A1. General Project Title Alexander Stadium Redevelopment Full Business Case – (as per Voyager) Phase 1 Commonwealth Games Development Voyager code CA-03031-01/1CA0/2AA Portfolio Commonwealth Games, Sport, Directorate Neighbourhoods /Committee Events Approved by Steve Hollingworth Approved by Guy Olivant Project Finance Business Sponsor Partner A2. Outline Business Case approval (Date and approving body) Alexander Stadium will host the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games opening and closing ceremonies and the athletics competition. To accommodate this in accordance with the requirements of the Host City Contract, and to provide a lasting, financially sustainable community sports facility post Games, the Council needs to develop a scheme for its redevelopment. An Outline Business Case was previously developed as part of a Masterplan by The Sports Consultancy in conjunction with S&P architects and Mace in 2018, detailing the redevelopment of the site to include preparations for the Games overlay and new facility developments in Legacy mode following the Games. The final report did not fully capture the most up to date information on the project and its stakeholders, which at that time was continuously evolving at pace. Since then the vision for the site and final stakeholder list has been finalised and potential new anchor tenants have been secured in the form of Birmingham City University (BCU) that will base their sports campus at the site. The (GBSLEP) FBC was also produced by Birmingham City Council and Arcadis as part of the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership Business Case in parallel to this report to seek to secure contributory funds for the scheme.

  • Newsletter from St
    2016 WINTER ISS UE St. John’s C of E Middle School The Red Sweater The termly Newsletter from St. John’s School Headteacher’s introduction I write to you as the distant chimes of Christmas approach and there is a growing anticipation and excitement amongst the children. This has been a busy term with many highlights. The Year 7 and 8 children who visited Ingestre Hall were full of their experience and it was wonderful to hear of so many moving beyond their comfort zone and trying new activities such as dance. A number of children found a talent for dancing and singing that they did not realise they had! The Newsletter again reflects the range and variety of learning experiences provided for our pupils and it is very pleasing to see them taking part in these challenges. As I have communicated separately, Mrs Ireland, Deputy Headteacher, leaves us after 13 years of service at St. John’s to take up a Headship at St. Mary’s in Studley and we thank her and wish her every success in the future. Finally, can I thank all staff, parents and pupils for their hard work and support this term and wish all a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 3rd January 2017. Mr. G. L. Roberts Headteacher English Civil War day On Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th we welcomed the Colonel back to the school to hold an English Civil War day for Year 8 students. The students had a great day and learnt lots about what life was like during the Civil War and how the conflict was fought getting to actually handle weapons from the time such as matchlock muskets, pikes and swords amongst other artefacts from the time.

  • Governance and Urban Development in Birmingham: England's Second
    Governance and urban development in Birmingham England’s second city since the millennium Acknowledgements This report was written by Liam O’Farrell, Research Associate at the University of Birmingham with funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of the “Democratic Foundations of the Just City” project, which was a comparative study of housing, urban planning and governance in three European second cities: Birmingham, Lyon and Zurich. The project was a collaboration between the University of Zurich’s Centre for Democracy Studies Aarau (ZDA) and the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (CURS). The report was made possible through the support of a number of colleagues, including Dr Peter Lee at the University of Birmingham’s CURS; Dr Eric Chu, previously at CURS and now at the University of California, Davis; Oliver Dlabac and Roman Zwicky at the University of Zurich’s ZDA; and Dr Charlotte Hoole at the University of Birmingham’s City-REDI. Unless otherwise cited, photographs in this report were provided by Roman Zwicky, part of the research team. Birmingham analysis maps were produced by Dr Charlotte Hoole using publicly available ONS datasets. We would like to thank those working in the housing sector across the city who generously shared their knowledge and experience of planning and development in Birmingham. The “Democratic Foundations of the Just City” project was supported by: • The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), by means of a research grant for the project “The Democratic Foundations of the Just City” (100012M_170240) within the International Co-Investigator Scheme in cooperation with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in the UK.

Dining out in our city has something for all tastes with Michelin star restaurants across the city, Spiceal Street by the Bull Ring, the Chinese Quarter and our very famous Balti Triangle. Birmingham is still one of the most popular places to shop in the UK, with the impressive names of Selfridges and Debenhams already established here, the development of the new John Lewis store will add another fantastic dimension to the retail experience.
