Would anybody like to offer to keep this news page up-to-date? The update system is very easy to use and allows for instant site updates, we are just struggling to find the time to keep on top of it... this site could be a useful local news resource if we had regular and well written news in place of my rushed and sporadic updates! Drop us an email at villageinfo@cofton-hackett.org.uk and we'll give you a whirl!

I am sure that most of you are now aware of the recently submitted plans to the council for the east works, many of the residents will have attended the public meeting on May 19th. As always a wealth of information is available at http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/longbridgeaap

Meetings this year are held on the third Monday of each month (excluding August) at 7:30pm in the village hall.

Whether you are catholic or otherwise I hope we can all say thank you to the catholic church and the local security forces for organising a positive event that has gone smoothly. I expect there will be hundreds of websites displaying good quality photographs of the event so there seems little point posting any here - please do contact us if you have a set which you would like to see on this website.
