Balsall Heath study visit People for Action have organised a study visit to Balsall Heath. Here's the blurb - 26th February 2004 Active Communities Balsall Heath has gained national recognition as an urban success story, yet it has been a long struggle for what was once an infamously run-down and crime-ridden part of inner-city Birmingham. The regeneration of the area has developed from the ground up, pioneered and directed by the community itself - and has proved to be an inspiration for many. David Blunkett said: "They recognised that each of us is dependent for our prosperity and fulfilment on the wider community of which we are a part." This study visit will take in a tour of the area, and feature speakers from the Balsall Heath Forum and other local resident and voluntary groups. The day will focus on how communities can take control of their areas and have a major, positive influence on the local quality of life. More on the PfA site.
