The Stirrer – News that matters, campaigns that count for Birmingham, The Black Country and beyond – The Rainbow gets some surprise support from Birmingham Conservative councillor Robert Alden. There were also more optimistic noises coming from The Rainbow Facebook support group after landlord Kent Davis was invited to a meeting at the Council House on Friday with regeneration chief Clive Dutton.
Landlord Kent Davis is also sounding a little more optomistic after his meeting with Clive Dutton:
“Finally it looks as though some common sense may be being applied to this emotive subject. Clive Dutton (Director of planning and regeneration) and Cncllr Martin Mullaney organised a meeting attended by Jaqui Kennedy (Head of Regualtory services), Cllr Ernie Hendricks (who is looking at a music policy for Birmingham), myself and other interested parties. This was a first of its kind and more are needed if in Mr Dutton’s own words we are ‘to satisfactorily navigate our way through the current issues through good collaboration and common sense’.”
