Democracy week in Perry Barr schools.

Posted on 14th October 2009 by Nick Booth

The Lozells.info website has written about their local youth forum which is working in schools to talk to pupils about the neighbourhood. Kate Foley writes:

As part of Local Democracy Week the Perry Barr Youth Forum are visiting a number of schools in Lozells. On Tuesday and Wednesday they are visiting Heathfield, Lozells and Mayfield Schools and on Friday they go to Holte School.

The Youth Forum are presenting during a 15 minute school assembly where they:

Tell the young people who they are and what they do

Ask them if they know what Local Democracy Week is

Ask them questions about the local area and what they would like to see change and improve

At the end of the assembly the Youth Forum collect all the opinions from the young people in the schools and these will then be put together as a report which can help your Neighbourhood Management Board to improve services in the local area

This project is being filmed and the footage should be available on this site soon.

Birchfield Neighbourhood Management Boards inaugural meeting at Cmat Building

Posted on 9th October 2009 by Kasper Sorenson

We have corrected this information: The following is wrong: This is an open forum where members of the Perry Barr ward can air thier views and concerns with local councillors.

Mike Davis, the Constituency Director, has clarified what is going on:

Birchfield Neighbourhood Management inaugaral meeting – tonight is for the Lozells & East Handsworth Ward (not Perry Barr Ward).

The Neighbourhood Board is a by invitation meeting although if we
had one of two observers that would not be a problem. It gives key local community representatives the opportunity to work closely with Service Providers and influence local
service provision. There will probably be one or two councillors in
attendance but its not an opportunity for the general public to air
personal issues or concerns.

Constituency: Perry Barr
When: Thu, 15 October, 18:30 – 20:00
Where: 16 Grosvenor Rd, Handsworth, Birmingham, West Midlands B20, UK
Open to the general public: Invitation only
Contact: Yvonne Wager 0121 675 1731
