Big City Plan Talk A Place To Talk About Birmingham’s Big City Plan

This is an unofficial ‘plain English‘ version of the Big City Plan ‘Work in Progress’ document that Birmingham City Council are asking people’s opinions on.

A group of volunteers from the Birmingham Bloggers’ Group has built this site and put this document into plain English, because we wanted a place to discuss the issues and options and help each other (and everyone) understand the Big City Plan.

The site was built by Jon Bounds, and he along with Nick Booth, Nicky Getgood, Julia Gilbert and Michael Grimes have written the plain English text. The help and support of a large number of the Birmingham online community was very much needed and appreciated, especially Stef Lewandowski who has blogged extensively about the Big City Plan.

We want as many Birmingham people as possible to be able to understand the plan, have their say and come up with good ideas for the city — being able to have discussions on each point will help this.

All the comments on the site will be passed on to Birmingham City Council  for them to include in the consultation process.
