Unveiling of a special centenary Blue Plaque to New Frankley in Birmingham Parish Council

Working with the staff and pupils of Balaam Wood School, as part of our centenary heritage programme, to create a film about their area and to nominate who they felt should receive a special centenary Blue Plaque, has led to a resident-led community action project bringing together local schools and groups to design new artwork to cover up the graffiti and damage on local shops and renew pride in the area.

On Friday 26 October, 10.20 – 12.30pm, this new artwork will be unveiled and New Frankley Parish Council will be receiving a Birmingham Civic Society Blue Plaque for their services to the community and environment since 2000. Young people from Balaam Wood Secondary School worked with Suzanne Carter and Scott Johnston to create a behind the scenes documentary about the community mural project and have created a fantastic film to inspire their peers to get more involved in community matters.

The event will be held at Frankley Library on Friday 26th October at 10.30am and will be followed by the unveiling of the community-designed murals at the nearby local shopping parade.

RSVP: by Thursday 25 October 2018 to Penny
