Cllr J Lines in the Chair 1. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS Following introductions, the Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting. 2. NOTICE OF RECORDING The Chairman advised that members of the press/public may record and take photographs except where there were confidential or exempt items. 3. APOLOGIES Apologies for absence were submitted on behalf of Cllr Desmond Flood and Sgt Dave Cotter, WMP. 4. LOCAL NEWS UPDATES i) West Midlands Fire Service (WMFS) Watch Commander Darren Thompson briefly advised the last quarter had been much quieter, however ongoing home safety and prevention work across the ward, particularly in the Woodgate area continued to be carried out by officers. Residents were reminded to check smoke detectors in their property on a regular basis and to contact WMFS if they had any concerns or wanted a Home Safety Check or advice. ii) West Midlands Police Sgt Dave Cotter had been unable to attend the meeting and had submitted an Information Briefing update, copies of which were circulated at the meeting. 1 Residents were reminded to let Members know of any issues and concerns. There were no further updates. 5. SENNELEYS PARK INFORMATION UPDATE Following introductions, Sue Amey, District Parks Manager, advised that:- - The park had historically been a local hub for several sports activities, with football being the most predominant sport in recent times. - However the demand for pitches at the park had reduced considerably over the last few years due to issues with being waterlogged and the deteriorating of the changing pavilion. The pavilion has also been repeatedly targeted by vandalism and anti-social behaviour, and as a result was closed completely for safety reasons. - The pavilion had also been used by the Friends of Senneleys Park Group to store tools and to support their activities as well as those being provided at the park by the Wellbeing Service Active Parks programme. - The Friends Of group were keen to work with Council officers and other interested groups to investigate opportunities to bring back a suitable community facility at the park - S106 monies within the ward could be used to attract additional match funding to help deliver a full and suitable development at the Park to bring the pavilion and pitches back into full use. - In the meantime, work was ongoing with partners including Sport England and Strategic Sport to assess the feasibility for the project and to secure the appropriate levels of funding to deliver the scheme. Residents input, feedback and support was also actively encouraged. Whilst welcoming the update, Members expressed some disappointment at the length of time it had taken to secure the funding and to carry out the improvements. The park was very much needed and a number of local football teams were keen to use the facilities and use the park as their home ground. Members sought further assurances that every effort would be made to ensure that a scheme was delivered as soon as possible and that the S106 monies would not be used elsewhere. Sue Amey advised that a small team of officers would continue to work with partners to secure the funding needed to fully redevelop the park facilities, and that Members and residents would continue to be kept informed. Members and residents thanked Sue Amey for her attendance and update. 6. WOODGATE VALLEY VISITOR CENTRE Following introductions, Joe Hayden, Park Services Manager advised that:- 2 - There had been no changes to the Parks Ranger Services following the consultation carried out last year. However, a review of the services and facilities was ongoing to ensure these continued to be delivered across key sites which included Woodgate Valley and Sheldon Country Park - Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust had expressed an interest in becoming involved with Woodgate Valley, possibly taking on the management of the Visitor Centre. This would include enhancing and provide additional services including a full refurbishment of the building, creating meeting rooms, café and information hub for nature conservation/green space etc. The building would remain under City Council Ownership, and leased to and staffed by the Trust. - The Ranger Service would be relocated to either nearby Senneleys Park or Lickey Hills, which would free them up from staffing duties at the Visitor Centre. Informal discussions had been taking place and would continue over the coming months. Draft Terms of Reference would be drawn up for consideration by Woodgate Valley Consultative Committee before a decision was made. A further update would be provided in due course. Members and residents welcomed the update and the possible involvement of the Trust along with positive opportunities this could bring, particularly regarding nature conservation and investment. Several residents welcomed the opportunity for local people and schools to get involved with nature conservation and helping to look after the Valley. Mr Hayden further adised that loal onstituted groups, inluding Friends Of could apply for grant funding from Awards for All to help with community based activities and initiatives. Following a request from the Chairman, Mr Hayden agreed to meet with interested groups to help with applications where necessary. The Chairman thanked Joe Hayden for his attendance and information update. 7. RESIDENTS NEWS/UPDATES/ISSUES OF CONCERN Residents advised of the following:- - Bridle Path, Woodgate Valley – in need of urgent attention; path eroding away which made it very dangerous for horse riders to negotiate safely. In addition, water on the newly created cycle path was not draining away but remained on the surface, which made it hazardous for the horses. Several residents who were also keen horse riders and volunteer helpers advised of the difficulties experienced when using the path, and felt that the concerns and welfare of the horses and the riders had been overlooked. Action: Joe Hayden agreed to meet representatives from the trekking centre on site to investigate the concerns and advise accordingly. - Wentworth Way/Bournbrook Walkway– was prone to regularly flooding/ponding; the cobbled stones were also covered with moss and the trees/bushes in need of cutting back. Action: Joe Hayden agreed to investigate. 3 - Kitwell Lane – problems with traffic congestion and obstruction still ongoing, with accidents and minor bumps happening on a regular basis. Residents had difficulty accessing/leaving their driveway on a daily basis and the grass verges had been damaged by parked cars. Several residents advised of damage to their own cars and called for the bus service to be re-routed to a more suitable road and for the speed humps to be removed as they made the situation worse. Residents also suggested that the grass verges were replaced with dropped kerbs as this would reduce the on- street/obstructive parking. Marie Brown, District Engineer advised that concerns had been referred to West Midlands Travel regarding poor driving practices by some drivers as well as consideration to re-routing the bus service. Discussions with West Midlands Travel were ongoing. Marie further advised that Kitwell Lane would be included on the Locally Determined Scheme list for consideration. Members and residents felt it would be useful to have the costings for the conversion of grass verges to dropped kerbs. Action: District Engineer to provide costings for the conversion of grass verges to dropped kerbs. - Holloway – residents felt the bend in the road by the bus stop was an accident blackspot, with several serious accidents in recent weeks, including a motorcyclist being thrown from his bike. Consideration should be given to traffic calming measures and relocation of the bus stop. Marie Brown, District Engineer advised that a proposed scheme had been put forward to the Locally Determined Scheme for consideration. Members and residents would be advised of the outcome in the new Municipal Year when all the schemes put forward were prioritised and agreed. Action: All to Note and District Engineer to provide a further update in due course. - Scotland Lane – inconsiderate parking along the road which was very well used by children attending the nearby school. Concerns were also expressed at the length of time it had taken to fill the School Crossing Patrol Warden post. Residents added that the staff at “t Marys “hool in the neighouring Harorne ard had deided to put traffic cones outside the school in order to keep the immediate area outside the school clear and felt that this should be considered locally. Action: District Engineer agreed to investigate and advise Members accordingly. There were no other issues raised. 8. REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING ACTIONS Consideration was given to the summary of residents issues/concerns raised at the Meeting and the actions required. (See Outstanding Actions List attached) Action: All to Note 4 9. ANY OTHER BUSINESS Ward Boundary Charges The Chairman reminded residents of the changes to the current ward boundaries across the city. The new ward arrangements would come into effect following the Local Elections on 3 May 2018 and would consist of 69 wards citywide; 32 would have two Councillors, with the remaining 37 wards represented by one Councillor. Locally, Bartley Green ward would be represented by two Councillors. Action: All to Note 10. DATE OF NEXT MEETING To be agreed and residents advised accordingly following the Local Elections on 3 May 2018. 11.

  • Calling Curious People in Bartley Green, Edgbaston, Harborne, North Edgbaston and Quinton
    PRESS RELEASE NOVEMBER 24 2020 CALLING CURIOUS PEOPLE IN BARTLEY GREEN, EDGBASTON, HARBORNE, NORTH EDGBASTON AND QUINTON We at Artscoop (a network of local artists dedicated to arts with social purposes) are tickled pink to announce that we’ve got funding from Birmingham City Council to find out how ‘home art’ made by people living in SW Birmingham could feature in the Culture Programme of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. By ‘home art’, we mean all those joyfully creative things that people make or do for themselves, their friends, families or work mates. Think whacky signs or banners, decorated gardens, inventions made in sheds, NHS rainbows, knitted oddities, floral shrines at accident spots, fancy dress, or ingenious scarecrows, There are hundreds of other unpredictable ways people celebrate who they are, where they live or work, and what they believe in…..or they just do it for fun. Home art definitely isn’t part of the ‘art world’: galleries and other arts institutions usually dismiss it, and it’s ignored by so-called experts. No matter, we’re asking people themselves to help us discover good examples in SW Birmingham. Between now and the end of January, send us photographs of what you think is home art and we’ll pay you for the ones we select to go in our on-line gallery. And that’s only the start – before Easter, we’ll be asking people how they think we can put on a show for 2022. If this interests you as a way of showing the world that Birmingham people are creative in their own special ways, get in touch at [email protected].

  • Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston
    Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston Bartley Green Reservoir INTRODUCTION Welcome to our fifth newsletter! This month we are focusing on Edgbaston Constituency. The Prevention and Communities (P&C) Commissioning Team are promoting the fantastic, and wide ranging, work happening all over Birmingham. This month it is Edgbaston’s turn to showcase some of what has been achieved with our voluntary and community sector partners. This newsletter will share Edgbaston stories from the different services this team manages and supports including: The Neighbourhood Network Scheme The Prevention and Communities Grants Programme Vulnerable Adults Grants What do we mean by Prevention? Adult Social Care’s Prevention First Vision is about supporting people to lead, “happy, independent lives in their own homes and communities.” Adult Social Care has been changing how we work, taking more time to listen and understand what a good life looks like for people. We are connecting them to the support they need in their community before looking at traditional forms of care. This is known as the Three Conversations approach. To ensure there is community-based support people need and want, our commissioning team have been investing in organisations that can deliver or develop this. Our focus is on support that can improve wellbeing and independence by: reducing isolation, increasing opportunities to be active, maximising income, helping to maintain homes and supporting carers. Please tell us what you think of the newsletter We would love feedback on the newsletter to help us make these really beneficial for social work teams and others who would find these updates useful.

  • Annual Review 2018 / 2019 the Birmingham Civic Society
    Annual Review 2018 / 2019 The Birmingham Civic Society Message from Geoff Cole Chairman, Birmingham Trees for Life I am pleased to report on another successful season for BTFL, in which we saw record numbers of people at one event, and rounded off the Birmingham Civic Society Centenary celebrations with a second planting at the Lickey Hills and the installation of a plaque to mark the Centenary Arboretum. We welcomed Cllr. Mohammed Azim as the new Council Member representative, who has more than demonstrated his support by attending almost every event, and were delighted to welcome back former Councillor Fiona Williams, who proved to be a staunch voice for trees when on our Committee previously, who has rejoined us as a ‘lay member’. We were fortunate to become a beneficiary of the HS2 Community Environment Fund this year, and will be planting new trees on 10 sites over 3 years with this grant. All the sites are within 1km of the line, and as inner city parks, are vital for improving air quality and health and well-being for local residents. We were also pleased to receive continuing support from the Halpin Trust for our River Cole project; last summer we trialled some summer events for the first time as part of this project, running follow-up sessions for schools on a few sites, and we will be expanding these on both River Cole and HS2 sites this summer and beyond. Our partners the Woodland Trust also continue their support of our project, and we enjoyed welcoming them back to Birmingham for our joint event at Norman Chamberlain Playing Fields.
