Acocks Greener is a local community group in Tyseley & Hay Mills and Acocks Green, their aim is to help us become a greener community and to cope with climate change. Some 230 homes in the area have benefitted from insulation, double-glazing and solar panels thanks to grants organised by Acocks Greener.

Just up the road in Tyseley a ‘Green Energy and Innovation Quarter’ is expected to attract major investments as hi-tech energy-related firms are attracted here. As one of the preparations for this, Birmingham City Council has contracted Loconomy to form a ‘Coalition for Impact’ (C4I) project team to prepare a Community Economic Plan.

Acocks Greener is part of this team, focusing on residents to the South and East of the Tyseley industrial area (particularly in Tyseley, Hay Mills and Acocks Green). The project is gathering ideas until mid January 2025 and will then work them up into a plan, with suggested projects, for submission to Birmingham City Council in March.

The views of local residents are important to this vision, so Acocks Greener is asking all of us who live around this area to share our ideas on how to improve the area in aspects such as:

• Training and work
• Green spaces/community facilities
• Homes
• Public transport
• Cars, parking and safety

Please complete the short survey to help shape our part of Birmingham in a positive way, highlighting the good aspects of our area, what things are important to the community, as well as ideas for what could be improved.
