We have not had any significant increase in counterfeit currency in the Kings Heath / Stirchley area but will continue to alert shop keepers if a spate of this occurs.
5. Bournville Bridge, flooding during recent bad weather
The Councillors and Stirchley Forum are working together to attempt to deal with the problems suffered by many Stirchley residents during heavy rainfall.
