As part of the regeneration, what improvements are going to be made for young people in Chelmsley Wood?
We hope to make improvements not only for young people in Chelmsley Wood but also those in Smith’s Wood, Kingshurst & Fordbridge too. When looking at all aspects of the regeneration programme we take in account the young people living in the area. We have created a new basketball court at Babb’s Mill Park, and a new ball park is currently being built at Chapelhouse Recreation Ground. We want to encourage young people to stay living in the area. We are always very keen to hear the views of young people in the area. We encourage them to get them involved in Regenerating North Solihull, from running a talent search in our bi-monthly newsletter to sponsoring the stage at the North Solihull Community Festival. We also work closely with the Building Schools for the Future Programme, which is a national programme to refurbish or rebuild every secondary school in England over the next 15 years, creating world-class, 21st-century schools which will inspire learning for decades to come.
