    Buildings at risk

    Walked down Trafalgar Road from Moseley to the Moseley Road in Balsall Heath again, and got this view from the back of the office range of the former Tram Depot in Balsall Heath. If the School of Art was restored, why not this building? Surely the Creation Climbing Centre could take it over.

    West Midlands Metro trams 2020

    They have colour coded the seats purple and green. I think green is for disabled and OAP's. They feel OK. Prefer the seats on trains or the Platinum buses. Wheelchairs goes here

    Paradise development 2020

    No problem. I'm waiting for them to remove the fences in Chamberlain Square, is a bit hard to see anything behind them. It's changed so much since all the old concrete buildings were demolished. Might be best to wait a few months with One Centenary Way, as it hasn't started rising yet.
