Bring these Towers Down!

A huge thank-you to the hundreds of local residents who turned out this afternoon on the Bromford, to send Birmingham City Council a message; bring our eye-sore towers down. See the BBC news coverage

here. Cllr Lines tells us that he’s not yet made a decision about whether to keep the promise to us to blow-up the blocks. Well, don’t take too long. The security is costing anywhere between £2,000-£10,000 a month. In fact some estimates put the cost of emptying the blocks and keeping them empty at £2 million! That’s practically the budget to blow them up agreed in the first place. We refuse to be treated like second class citizens of Birmingham. Bring these towers down!
