Stop BCC allowing Poolway Shopping Centre in Garretts Green to become a 'museum'
BCC want to turn a closed down shopping centre into a museum - when housing should be a priority! There are already tenants living the flats above awaiting to be re-housed - which is understandable if the place to be raised to the ground, however the future use of the land is not what our city needs
"Just months after closing, the Poolway Shopping Centre in Garretts Green, Birmingham looks like a ghost town. A series of photos released by the Press Association show the complex built in 1961, is now derelict and neglected, with rows of shuttered shops. Only 2 stores remain, and two families live in the flats above them, waiting to be relocated. The site, which was compulsory purchased by Birmingham City Council, is planned to be the new home for the Birmingham Museums Trust." - BBC Midlands
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local planning issues are the responsibility of your local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

Once an application is made for the development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:
