Rising from the ashes!
The loss of Highfield House has been a massive blow to the residents of Hall Green. But directly as a result of that, a new group has been brought together to ensure that the loss of historic buildings is not such an easy ride for grasping developers and compliant planners.
In Hall Green our heritage is vitally important to us and we will fight to protect it. This goes for other parts of the city too - as our courageous colleagues in Moseley have shown.
The new body is to be called the Hall Green Preservation Group. HGPG had its inaugural meeting on 20th March at Hall Green Library. Many local people turned out and signed up to the principal of a preservation group that is to be proactive rather than reactive. All of your Focus team have signed up. If you are interested in taking part, contact Councillor Paula Smith on 0121-778-6679 or Councillor Michael Wilkes on 0121-777-2462 or email Michael directly from here.
We will work hard, side by side with residents to protect all the history we have left in and near Hall Green so future generations can enjoy the environment, both built and natural, that we have today.
