Planning round-up: The latest Birmingham applications and £20m plans to reshape Druids Heath
Here is the latest planning round-up
Druids Heath is set to receive £20 million over the next decade as part of a new government initiative.
The neighbourhood will secure £2 million a year for ten years through the Pride in Place programme. Druids Heath is among 146 areas chosen to pioneer this new approach to community investment.
The funding can support a wide range of projects, from revitalising parks and high streets to bringing empty buildings back into use. It will also be up to residents themselves to put forward ideas and make decisions.
A local board will be set up to coordinate the programme, and volunteers are being sought to take part. Labour says the “aim is to back initiatives that boost local jobs, strengthen community facilities, improve green spaces, and make Druids Heath a safer, more vibrant place to live.”
