Hey Bham City Council Glenbrook & West Midlands Combined Authority lets go on a tour of Birmingham's most important cultural street! One that should attract hundreds of thousands of tourists & millions of £'s to our economy... Currently with globally important cultural venues sitting derelict.
Glenbrook & Toyoko Inns threaten globally important arts venues in Birmingham with destructive plans & neglect. 22,500 of us call on Lisa Nandy MP, LeaderofBirmingham, Richard Parker Shabana Mahmood MP & Councillor Saima Suleman Hall Green North to stop the vandalism gutting the heart of Brum. Action not words.
Hey Lisa Nandy MP, this is the current state of the UK's oldest cinema thanks to Glenbrook who closed it & want to gut it for a 50 floor tower of build to rent flats. When are you, Shabana Mahmood MP & LeaderofBirmingham going to save a huge piece of Birmingham & UK civic pride?
For 10yrs this has been the view from Birmingham New St. Station Imagine the PR boost for a beleaguered city if Bham City Council & Mayor of the West Midlands liberated the birthplace of BlackSabbath & found The Crown owners who'd re-open it Imagine it hosting Black Sabbath's final gig...
Heritage as a driver for tourism, creative economy, skills, places? Birminghams about to lose the UK's oldest cinema & pub where Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal. On the same street outside our busiest Train Station. 🤦♂️ Chris Bryant fancy a chat? [email protected]
