**** UPDATE: THIS MEETING HAS NOW BEEN MOVED TO: WEDNESDAY JULY 10TH AT 6PM. THE MEETING LOCATION HAS ALSO BEEN MOVED TO: “Parkside”, Market Street, Bromsgrove, Worcs. B61 8DA. 01527- 881288 ****

Dear Members

We have submitted a Community Asset form on behalf of Brockhill Residents’ Association, to try to save the Foxlydiate Arms Hotel and Restaurant from being bulldozed by the owners Whitbread, to sell the land to Developers who have submitted a plan to Bromsgrove District Council for the building of 48 houses and an Apartment block. This will obviously put a further strain on the roads and facilities in our area.

The Community Asset Application is being considered at a meeting with Ruth Bamford, the Council’s Head of The Planning Department, next Wednesday June 12th at 6pm. It’s being held at the Bromsgrove Council Chamber and Committee Room in Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove B60 1AA, the former Council House.

The meeting is open to the public, so it would be VERY worthwhile for as many Members as possible to attend the meeting, to show Ruth Bamford, how much this means to us all. WCC Robin Lunn, who had an interview on the front page of the Standard Newspaper last week concerning this, is hoping to attend. He told us that the decision lies solely with Ruth Bamford.

PLEASE attend if you are able.

Your Committee
