There are plans to bring the ice rink normally located at Centenary Square in Birmingham up to Lightwoods Park this Winterval. Full details are on the Bearwood blog.
Now this is my back yard so I will make a few comments:
1) There will be parking issues - but these can be sorted;
2) There will be noise issues - but these can be managed;
3) There will be litter - but this can be cleaned up;
4) It will bring people into Bearwood and this will benefit local businesses and jobs;
5) It will provide local children with an opportunity to enjoy skating - a link up with local schools will be really helpful;
6) It will give local churches and charities the opportunity to sing Christmas carols and raise funds;
7) It will provide another focus for the community - it would be great if we could have a special Bearwood community evening with fireworks and a hog roast;
7) Everyone's a winner - let's hope it comes off!
