At the moment Great Charles Street provides a barrier for people wlaking downhill between St Philip's Cathedral and St Paul's Church.

There were plans for a bridge over Great Charles Street, however I think a bridge is inadequate if we want the JQ to become an extension to the Colmore Row Conservation Area.

I think it is really important that people are able to walk unhindered across Great Charles Street at Ludgate Hill and Newhall Street.

How this is done is a problem as the entrance/exit to the Queensway Tunnel is right at the point where people would walk into the JQ.

Perhaps we could fill in the tunnel from Paradise Circus up to Snow Hill and make traffic go underground to enable people to walk from St Philips to St Pauls?

The other thing that occurred to me is that there is an opportunity to build a new 'Museum of Manufacturing' to celebrate Birmingham's role as the pre-eminent industrial city, the 'Workshop of the World' in the 'City of a 1000 Trades' on the site in Ludgate Hill/ Great Charles Street, where the coach station was due to go previously.

I think Abstract Land own that site, and have plans for an office development. With the downturn ' Public Sector' infrastructure projects are hoped to stimulate the economy-I can think of no better site for a Museum of Manufacturing near to the old Science Museum and in the JQ to stimulate development in the JQ
