‘The POD’ Work In Progress
The refurb has started, however we are still having a lot of issues with anti social behaviour. Our team had a meeting on Thursday 19th January 2012, with the planning team and with builders approved by Birmingham City Council who are refurbushing the container. They informed us that late December 2011, the container was damaged again, causing more cost to the original budget and this may result in a delay in completion of the works. ALL the refurbishment will be carried out by the planning and building team from Birmingham City Council. The container will then be handed over to us after completion of works. Our youth workers have been working with a lot of local young people, however it seems the damage is being caused by offenders from out the local area. This is no doubt a challenge for all of us, we shall continue to presevere and try and make as many improvements as possible. We shall keep you posted and up to date.
