Depends on how long you want to do but I like the walk down the canal up the the upper bittell reservoir and round the country lanes start and finish the crown pub by alcechurch station about 1-2 hours depending on the route. So a short but pleasant walk.

We need someone with the vision to remove the A38 Queensway. Genuinely think it will provide significant health and economic benefits to the city. If it can’t be a park - at least a tram route would so impactful.

I forgot to mention the RBSA is of course open - and always fantastic.

£14 for a pot of French mustard in the bakery opposite too! 🤣

Why would Herefordshire and Worcestershire be dropped from central? Both are in West Midlands, it make sense to include them (following EAs central region) or to drop split central to east and west - as they’re quite different (or are midlands an afterthought?)

Voice note evening editions. I think that’s a winner. Like an evening edition podcast

But Solihull centre has been so neglected for so long this is welcome. Really need better routing from the station to the centre, there was talk in the master plan about 6 years ago moving the station to Homer Road, no idea how on earth that would work 😅

Yeah, definitely, though I think it’s such a cut through road with access to a lot of frontage I think it would be hard (agree should aim high) there’s little going on in the other side of the road, bar the significant school traffic. I don’t think the bypass could manage with the additional traffic
