Update on Scaffolding on St.Marys Row, MoseleyBefore I go into where we are with regards to the scaffolding on St.Marys Row, could I direct you to two pages on my blog which give you some background as to why this scaffolding is here.

Where we are at the moment, is that we are waiting for the insurance company for the newsagent to sign a contract with the Chinese resturant owner to agree works, payment and legal niceties such as the Party Wall Act.
From a Council viewpoint, we have refused to re-new the permit to allow the scaffolding to remain on the public highway. This is so that we can start court proceedings, if there is unreasonable delay in signing the contract. It would be easier and cheaper all round, if the insurance and owner of the chinese restaurant can resolve things themselves, however we need a plan B if that fails. Plan B would be dismantling the scaffolding and re-erecting it inside the chinese restaurant.

Dog mess bag dispenser now up and running in Highbury Park, MoseleyIt is not often that one can claim excitment over dog mess bags, but Highbury Park Moseley, has today launched its dog mess bag dispensers. These have been erected as a 6 month experiment and a first for Birmingham.
The dispensers - see http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n300/martin_mullaney/dog-poop-bag-dispenser.jpg - can be seen at two locations in the park (1) next to the car park (2) next to the High Street entrance.
The dispensers will be refilled by the local Wardens.
It is accepted that the dispensers may be the source of vandalism, but unless we try we will never know. Equally, the bags may be a massive success and the amount of dog mess in the surround streets and parks reduced. The Highbury Park Assitant Ranger will be keeping an eye on the dispensers for any vandalism.
I would like to thank Fiona Adams of the Moseley Society and Natalie Higgins of Moseley in Bloom for finalising the wording on the display board.
