Local councillors are jubilant that plans to convert Franklin House, an office block close to the Cadbury factory, into flats has been thrown out by the city council’s planning committee
Local councillors are jubilant that their campaign opposing a planning application, seeking to convert Franklin House into flats, has been successful and that the application has been thrown out by the city council’s planning committee.
Franklin House, a large office block located near to the Cadbury factory in Bournville, was once used by Premier Foods but has been empty now for 3 years.
The planning application was seeking to convert Franklin House into 73 flats.
Councillors’ opposition to the application was based on two arguments. The first is that it was felt that 73 flats would place strains upon local resources in such a mature suburb. Secondly it was felt that Franklin House, being based within the Cadbury/Bournville industrial area, should remain as a building capable of providing much needed employment in the area.
Stirchley Baths restoration guaranteed by a £3.7 million loan from the city council
The transformation of the derelict Stirchley Baths site into the new Stirchley community centre has been guaranteed by a £3.7 million loan from the city council.
For many years the regeneration plans for Stirchley being pursued by the local councillors have been dependent upon being funded by the sale of council land in Stirchley to TESCO so that TESCO could acquire a site large enough to build their new supermarket.
How's it 'bin' for you?
First week of new Ward Based Refuse Collections draws to a close
From the 6th February 2012, Birmingham City Council has introduced ward based refuse collections in a number of wards across the city including Bournville.
Where as before, different parts of the wards received collections from different depots on different days, from now on, all refuse collection and recycling rounds are being changed so that each ward will have dedicated refuse collection and recycling crews. Apart from improving accountability, this approach will allow for greater synergy between the refuse/recycling crews and the dedicated street cleansing teams already working in the ward.

Bournville 40 feet high mobile phone mast application thrown out
The 3 Bournville councillors are extremely pleased to announce that the planning application to erect a 40 feet high mast in Bournville has been refused by the city council.
The application, from Vodafone and Telefonica, was seeking permission to erect a shared radio base station installation at the junction of Hawthorne Road and Heath Road and would have included the 40 feet high mast.
We have campaigned vigorously against this mast including meeting and explaining to planning officers our objections to this application.
Survey shows that there is overwhelming support for TESCO and ASDA to come to Stirchley
Your local councillors, at the end of last summer, conducted an extensive survey of every household in Stirchley to ask their views on whether both TESCO and ASDA should be allowed to come to Stirchley.
Over 2,000 households were invited to reply.
We had over 1,000 responses back from Stirchley residents and just over 60% thought that these two supermarkets should both be allowed to come to Stirchley.
