We want to create a community-led plan for more affordable, ecological co-operative housing, and retail or leisure on the proposed McDonalds site in Stirchley, Birmingham.
Join us for a second meeting where we will discuss massing and building types for the site. This will be a hands on session where participants will be able to develop and discuss ideas using blocks and cardboard.
This will be the second in a number of sessions guided by Unit 38 who will work with Stirchley co-operative Development and members of the public to generate a community plan for the site McDonalds proposed a drive through on. After 250+ applications for 20 flats in our new building we know that there is a huge need for affordable housing in the area, which won’t be solved by just one building. We also know that co-operatively owned retail units and leisure are something lacking from the area. We think that the future of the high street should be shaped, and owned by the people who live here – not international corporations like McDonalds.
Book your tickets here. This event is ticketed (with a very low entry cost) so we can arrange a suitable venue for peoples access requirements bearing in mind our limited funds. Some free tickets available along with solidarity contribution optional.
You can also join the forum here to get involved in the discussion.
