Knowle Society Forum

What do you think about the proposal to widen all the paths in Jobs Close (Knowle Park) except the newest one, so that they can be split by white-lining into pedestrian and cycle lanes. Currently the by-laws prohibit cycling in the park; should this be revised to provide cycle routes as an alternative to driving? Will this address the concerns about collisons that more vulnerable pedestrians might have? Is further encroachment into the grass justified or desirable?

Have your say on the recycling facilities available in Knowle and planned for the Autumn of 2008 (doorstep glass collection). Do you use them? Can you understand what is wanted in the containers? Are there enough facilities? Are there any improvements that you can suggest? Are you confused by different types of plastic or don’t you care to find out? Do you have a more radical view?

During June 2008 local publicity will appear on a possible new project to redevelop the existing bus shelter, old toilet block and surrrounding landscaping at the roundabout junction of the Warwick Road and Staion Road in Knowle. This is a project initiated by The Knowle Society and being explored by The Knowle Society, The Rotary Club of Knowle & Dorridge and Solihull Council on whose land the existing facilities are sited.

You are warmly invited to give your views as it is very much a community project - this web forum is one place where you can make your views known.
