Could someone please articulate for me the vision for how the Birmingham Civic Leadership sees the City looking like in 25 years.

@GBSLEP @paulmdale @ChamberlainFile Want to take the opportunity to say that the ex LDV plant is unlikely 2b listed amongst the sites?

@Jodatu @paulmdale @ChamberlainFile I don’t think there’s anything wrong – they’re talking about Birmingham generally not WH for the College

@GBSLEP @paulmdale @ChamberlainFile In all seriousness, are we watching the same clip http://t.co/WSazLBhOic? Is GBSLEP saying it’s v idea?

Given that nothing has been agreed and no proposals put forward as yet, methinks Mr Turner may be on the wrong track!””
