A lot of people think Birmingham is ugly, boring, run-down and full of people with ridiculous accents. And that’s when they’re being polite.
But we didn't always have this reputation. So when did things change?

Nice shot Verity! Always love a walk or ride around Clent - so much there to see in every season
Something new for day 48 of my futile one-woman crusade to keep real images popping up on your feed rather than AI (in The Bad Place)
Late autumn in Clent. A little bit of atmosphere and the beech trees absolutely putting on a show! Woodland is tricky but the only way to improve is to keep at it.

It’s a waste of £50m with few if any benefit & great potential to make the A38 worse. It will take years to do nothing, with the environment paying the price
