Kingshurst open day postponed

AN OPEN day due to take place in Kingshurst today (Saturday) has been postponed following concerns about large crowds.
Grime star Lady Leshurr was among the guests expected at the relaunch of the old Youth and Community Centre, in Marston Drive.
It was recently announced that the building, which shut its doors a few years ago, was to be brought back into use for 12 months.
Use of the venue will help decide whether to include a permanent premises in the redesigned Kingshurst Parade.
However, the council announced yesterday that the event would not be going ahead because of health and safety considerations.
A spokesman said: "Unfortunately [the] planned open day event at Kingshurst Youth and Community Centre has been cancelled.
"This difficult decision has had to be taken due to difficulty in predicting numbers and guaranteeing everyone’s safety."
Lady Leshurr (pictured), who had used the building back when she was a teenager, also took to social media to promise that the event would be held at a later date and be "bigger and better".
