Description
Description | The Perry Barr flats scheme is a £500 million housing development that replaced the former Birmingham City University campus. Initially intended to be the 2022 Commonwealth Games athletes' village, the project faced delays and stood empty until recent weeks. The development has a reduced number of car parking spaces due to the area's good connectivity and access to public transport. Residents, particularly council tenants, have moved in but face significant parking issues, with no designated parking spaces and limited availability, leading to fines and inconvenience. The council is working to identify potential parking sites to alleviate the problem. |
