Given away at the Big City Plan launch yesterday was a lovely little 5 minute video by Squint Opera. I like.
But nobody thought to put this online anywhere, so I asked Kelvin from Urban Initiatives for permission and I’ve ripped it from DVD using HandBrake and uploaded to Viddler for you…
(Yeah - okay, I’m in this too, but I really don’t know why out of all the stuff I said they picked that one bit…)

Nice video… can’t help notice that everyone commenting in it is white, middle class with hardly a Brummie accent in earshot though…
Excellent video…
@daveeboy - with you on that. I think more could be done with finding a wider range of people to talk to. Any suggestions?
Idea 6 misses trams! I feel the thought of buses is silly. We need a decent public transport system, we should have an underground system, however that is highly unlikely outside of London. The train system is at capacity at New Street, the new station will only solve passenger capacity, not train capacity which is at twice capacity it is designed for.
Nice video though.
The City has long punched below its weight & the Plan is long overdue. Many developers have appeared to make a fast buck & damaged many peoples view of the regeneration effort - you only need to understand the losses that many have taken from the cross section of residential developements. The Plan must urgently deliver a high quality City core, that is head & shoulders above its local alternatives towns & villages … be action oriented - we are tired of being promised of what could be & being held back by bureaucracy & poor decision making. Have courage, be bold! Gt on with it …
