Local Blogging Birmingham

A blog about the B29 postcode district which mainly covers Selly Oak, Selly Park and Weoley Castle, area synonymous with Birmingham Uni students despite normal people living there too. More of the recent posts are by Charlie Pinder with Michael Grimes having just joined. It was started by James Thornett who seems to have taken a bit of back seat, which is fine. That’s what a group blog is all about. Spread the load and get more voices out there.

Looking a bit deeper (not living in B29 this is the first time I’ve read the blog) there’s some in depth stuff in here looking at the elections, MP’s and councilors expenses, broadband internet speeds and the demolition of a lovely old building, chock full of well researched links and opinion. Great stuff.
