Heard Nortons are re-opening the anchor next month. Thank God 🙏🏻
My poor JQ scheme decimated by C+W :( Sad times…A lot of good work went into the original scheme.
A massive thanks to the @howells_makes team for joining us today and doing their bit in our community 👍
Third time lucky🤞🏻
My new Port Loop illustration going up on the board today…👀 #portloop
NEK is even disliked in Bristol… @x_brum
I bet my bottom dollar that this new window didn’t get planning permission on the corner of Bradford St @BCC_Help
Birmingham, a city far bigger than Leeds, has one tram line - not a network, or even a metro line, one tram line. So I don’t think it’s time to start talking about Leeds being the largest European city without a tram (network), because it’s still Birmingham.

The Village and the Loft are relocating to Nightingales, what’s going to happen to the old venues? @SouthsideDist

Sad to see the Co-op store close on Erdington High Street. To replace it with a B&M store when we have one already is not great, an Aldi or Sainsbury’s would’ve been preferred imo @ErdingtonLocal @Bobby_Alden @PauletteHamilto
The courtyard garden has turned out really well on Kent Street Baths. I can imagine summer parties and barbecues happening in the central pavilion. Views out get framed views of existing buildings, lovely stuff! @SouthsideDist
Does anyone at the council actually care about the upkeep of our streets? Cars are getting a free pass to park and drive over space that is meant for pedestrians 🤷♂️ @BCC_Help @badlyparkedbrum
The expressway morning rush hour is not coping these days, it’s pretty bad today. Have we ever tried closing the middle lane so you don’t get the problem of cars joining the third lane?
Showroom at Mansion House is lovely and vews of the city are great! @urban_splash
Wish every week was school half term in Birmingham, everything is so much more relaxing 😌
