So children & young people are not forgotten (we are all well aware of the negative impact they can have on a community when they’re excluded, maginalised and left to their own resources), how about a well run Community Amateur Boxing Club come Personal Development Centre? A place where discipline, good behaviour and civic responsibility can be instilled and go hand in hand with health & fitness. Can you imagine the benefit to the area? …a provision for young people that’s open of an evening and weekend with strong links with local schools in the area and operating in partnership with the Police, Connexions, Jobcentreplus etc. Surely suitable premises could be found somewhere within the proposed developments. {Thankyou for reading my comment}

can you just get the new Tesco Built ,As I’ve lived in the Stirchley Area for over 12 years and this has be goning on for ever>!!.
All the propeties in the planning area are now empty, vanderlised ,eye sore and make Stirchley look like a rundown poor unfinanced area.
I think the blame falls squarely at the feet of the City Council,

The properties that have been purchased are sitting empty, boarded but open to the elements. What a waste of housing. Rent them out to council tenants whilst we wait for a decision – if it is overturned at least the properties can be brought back into use – a whole road of empty houses for over 2 years! – What a waste! I’d happily take on the project. Phil

I have been a retailer in Stirchley for the last 8 years,and lived here for 53 years. I have watched it decline during this time the support from the local people is none existent that’s why most of the local shops have closed. The support from the council is a joke. All they want to do is open takeaways and offices. they do not seem to care what happens to the area at all.I wish that they would take a good look at stirchley and see what it really needs, no more takeaways,offices, just shops. The quicker they build tescos the better. Perhaps the residents of stirchley will start to befriend the shops and area again instead of going to kings heath and cotteridge.God Bless Stirchley

The coop is the most expensive place to food shop by far… i either travel out to Morrisons at Rubery or Tesco’s superstore at Redditch.Mick is right the place is a dump.I don’t see the coop doing anything for redevelopment..What local independent trade are we talking about? curry shops?, lets face there 10 a penny round the city so whats the drama?

What have the Co-op done for Stirchley? They’ve served the community for over 100 years, have ploughed funds into community-based initiatives and are an ethical retailer. I hope that the Tesco store, when it’s finally built and closing all of the local independent trade down gives you what you want Mr Barber. It’ll be too late to start whinging about all that extra traffic and no choice of shops. Think carefully before you welcome this development.
