Big City Plan Talk – The Big City Plan: the no-jargon, Plain English version. Where you can comment and unlike the official website, know that what you write will actually be published, possibly generating some interesting discussion around the document.
The site was built by Jon Bounds, who translated the original document along with Nick Booth, Julia Gilbert, Michael Grimes and myself.
Responses are already coming in, including a very eloquent reaction to the Digbeth section from Shona McQuillan:
I love the refurbishment idea. Making use of existing buildings rather than plundering cash into carbon-copy newbuilds is vital. This shouldn’t be about wiping out what’s there already, rather making the most out of Digbeth’s unique traits and personality.
Yes, yes, YES!
Please get reading and writing on Big City Plan Talk, to make your thoughts and feelings on the future of Birmingham heard.
