Object to Lendlease and Smithfield Development Plans- Call for a Better Future for Brum
Why this petition matters
Help us to do justice to Birmingham's Future by OBJECTING to the outline plan at the Smithfield Development- forcing them to to link their proposals to our city's Chinatown and Gay Village, and to create a much needed World Class Festival Space as BCC promised businesses and communities when they closed the Wholesale Markets.
The development turns its back on Chinatown only provides a under developed and limited pedestrian access to the LGBT quarter.
The small public space proposed can only accommodate small festivals so world class events cannot be held there- far from fitting for our great city.
The development is also being designed by Crosby Lendlease who are yet to sign the building safety repairs pledge that seeks to improve fire safety standards after the Grenfell Tower Disaster. Why should we grant them new projects when they are refusing to accept responsibility for older buildings?
