Step aboard the Big City Plan Bus today – Birmingham: It’s Not Shit – BiNS picks up on the “Beyond Midnight” bus, which has more info about the Big City Plan (that will decide what happens in Birmingham over the next 20 years). It’s in Highgate tomorrow, which is only down the road so I’m seconding Jon Bounds’ call to ‘Please go along if you can, in great numbers, to find out more about the Big City Plan, have your say and show the council that we really care about our city.’
- 12 noon – 3pm, Joseph Chamberlain College
- 3pm -5pm, Gooch Street shops
- 5pm – 7pm, Stanhope St Youth and Community Centre
- 7pm – 9pm, St Martins Youth Centre Gooch Street, Highgate, Birmingham B12
.
I went to the Victoria Square stop today. It was quite an interesting consultation asking people what they love about Birmingham and how they’d like to see it evolve, which sounds like the kind of consultation that should of happened before the Big City Plan was actually written.

I saw Jon Bounds mention this on BiNs – the first thing I thought when I saw the words ‘Beyond Midnight’ and ‘bus’ was that there was a new public transport night service (Jon obviously pointed out that it wasn’t!).
So, they get a bus, give it an obscure name to the context, there’s little publicity about it and we are all supposed to be available to see it during work hours at several locations? If I was feeling cynical, I’d think that those organising this don’t want a good few of us to visit it.
Rant over ;)
What is your opinion?
