WORK continues to address concerns raised during a public meeting in Kingshurst last summer.
Solihull Council recently provided an update on its response to some of the issues flagged up by residents at the emotionally-charged event.
A report prepared for councillors last month notes that many of those gathered at the Seeds of
Hope venue criticised the neighbourhood’s “poor appearance and its lack of desirability as a place to live”.
The local authority has said it has looked at short-term solutions to problems such as anti social behaviour and littering, although it acknowledged that some of the issues will take longer to resolve.
Key to the council’s strategy is the plan to redevelop Kingshurst Parade, an improvement scheme which has repeatedly been beset by delays.
The turn-out of the event caught organisers slightly off-guard and it has served as something of a blueprint for similar Question Time-style sessions in other parts of Solihull.
