It's been a while since my last post and the hiatus isn't because of a lack of things to write about - in fact it's quite the opposite! Too much going on can actually reduce the number of blog posts that you produce, especially with fun new services like Twitter to play with.
So. To reintroduce some of my ideas back into the Post Blog I'm changing format for the moment at least, accepting that I'm just very busy and going with the following:
It's an interesting question and one that is never really answered. Over the next few articles I'll be looking at some of the issues that the city is going to be facing and some of the creative and innovative approaches that we could look at to solve the city's problems, increase our quality of life and generally make us a better and more respected part of the world.
I've been living here for over ten years, so no, I'm not 'born and bred'. But having lived here for that time I've realised that actually there seem to be a lot of people just like me around - who want to have a say in how the city's changing and can look at the place with fresh eyes. So that's the perspective I offer - good or bad.
The Big City Plan
Blogging on the Birmingham Post site I hope I'll be able to air a few of my opinions, especially because I'm getting something of an insider's-eye-view of "The Big City Plan" that launched this week.
