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 Β£'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.
Birmingham's chronically cult heroes Johnny Foreigner return today with album #6 after an 8 yr delay. They're catchier, more interesting & better than ever. How To Be Hopeful adds to a catalogue of songs that stands up to any great band of the last 20yrs open.spotify.com/album/2rX1nhZ6β¦
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. π€¦ββοΈ Chris Bryant fancy a chat? [email protected]
