At the semi-spontaneous ringing in of 2012 at Kings Heath Village Square. Champagne was drunk from the more valuable glasses (that’s the hexagonal stem and the little deer figures on the bowl), balloon lanterns were set aloft, funny spectacles were donned, and nearly naked men ran through in two directions.

Lost Ferret. Spotted near MayPole so technically a little south of Kings Heath, but those buggers can move.

The scene of this great triumph is to be no more…

“Planning permission was recently granted for the re-location of the toilets, outside All Saints Church, to move to the opposite corner of Vicarage Road. The relocation of the toilets will allow work to commencing on the new community square outside All Saints Church. The plan is to relocate the toilets in late November early December.

The council owned highway land has been through a stopping up order procedure and will shortly pass to the church allowing the Community Spaces grant to be drawn down and work on the community square to begin. commence.
It is envisaged that a contractor for doing the works will be appointed in mid December, with them starting on site in mid January, with a completion and formal opening of the square planned for July 2011.”

Petition for Night Buses from Kings Heath via Moseley to City Centre

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 10:51:57 +0100

We need a night service between Birmingham City Centre and Moseley/King’s Heath. Taxis are expensive and we’re fed up of going home before midnight when there is a thriving night scene outside of the City Centre. Also those of us in Moseley and King’s Heath who like to party in town are having the same problem. This is meant to be a CITY!!

This is a follow on to the previous post about B-Mail’s photo for ‘ultralocal’ coverage of King’s Heath. Much as I like the fact that it’s of Highbury entrance, it’s just not representative of da Heath, so I went out and did my own interpretation on that theme.

Top photo, combo of congestion at York Road and the awesome spires atop the adjacent buildings.

Middle photo, congestion (natch) and that long view northward along the only stretch that’s got (nice) buildings fronting both sides o’ the road.

Bottom photo, no congestion, and a more open aspect.

If you have an idea about a representative KH street scene, let’s see it.
