If we follow this plan, the Gun Quarter will have a lot more housing and a lot less industry. We will get rid of a large chunk of the industrial area, which is not used much anyway. This will be a great help for Birmingham’s housing needs. It may also mean that a more mixed, family-friendly community develops. And we will improve the nearby estate and schools.

For this to work, we will need to make better links to the city centre. As in ‘Gun Quarter for high-end business’ (above), we will want to improve some of the industrial areas of Gun Quarter as well as providing good residential neighbourhoods.
