The September Digbeth Residents Association meeting was on Monday. The minutes are below. Andy Sheppard, the Neighbourhood Manager for Highgate, Digbeth and St Andrews, was there to say hello. I’ll let him introduce himself:
I have recently been employed by Birmingham City Council as the Neighbourhood Manager for Highgate, Digbeth and St Andrews. Put at its simplest my role is to enable residents to engage with service providers to improve the quality of life in the area and to improve the provision of services. I also want to encourage community cohesion and good neighbourliness.
I am currently visiting as many resident groups and service providers in the area as I can to listen to people’s priorities so that I can draw up an Action Plan to show how we can all help make Highgate, Digbeth and St Andrews better places to live and work in. I would be interested to hear from anyone with ideas on how we can all help do this. I have heard many complaints about a lack of information about what is happening in the area and I do all that I can to remedy this.
If you would like to speak to Andy Sheppard you can email him at andy.sheppard@birmingham.gov.uk, call him on 0121 675 6942 or write to him at Birmingham City Council, 2nd Flr New Aston House, Alma Street Newtown B19 2RL.
The next meeting Residents’ Association meeting will be at 7pm on Monday 4th October at The Paragon Hotel.
