Name: Anonymous on Mar 17, 2010Comments: I fully support the petition. I am old enough to remember the spoilation of the 1960s not only in Birmingham but akso in London, some of this was due to a lack of conservation appreciation and expertise.Flag

Name: Julia Larden on Mar 17, 2010Comments: We need our Conservation workers. They are not a luxury, unless our heritage is. Once it is gone, it is gone. Do we want our descendants to mark 2010 as the year Birmingham ceased to care about itself?Flag

Name: Christopher Vaughan on Mar 19, 2010Comments: The 20th Century was about getting around, the 21st is about staying in a place worth staying in. Birmingham's habit of starting from scratch every twenty years is no longer sustainable in the era of recycling, re-use and dare I say it, conservation.Flag

Name: Michael Starkey on Mar 19, 2010Comments: An absolute travesty. We should be treasuring our heritage in Birmingham, not treating it as an inconvenience, which is what the Council appears to be doing with these cuts. There are economic and educational reasons to keep the Conservation Group going, as well as the important reason of civic pride in the city which goes hand in hand with having an intact heritage! I don't see how this will happen if conservation is relegated to the status of an afterthought, which is what will most likely happen if the Conservation Group is disbanded.Flag

Name: Anzir Boodoo on Mar 19, 2010Comments: Birmingham has some of the finest built heritage in the country, but that isn't well known or recognised in the rest of the country. A leading Conservation Group is what the city needs to look after its historic fabric, and to show it off to the rest of the worldFlag

Name: Irene De Boo on Apr 3, 2010Comments: When I moved to Birmingham from the Netherlands some fifteen years ago, I was very impressed with how much people here seemed to care about history and the historic built environment in particular. There seemed to be a real pride in the city's history and the physical evidence remaining. At grass roots level we clearly still do care about old buildings (abundant evidence in local newspapers), but with the Council having to make cuts (or 'efficiencies'), the conservation officers safeguarding our architectural heritage are 'disbanded'. I just can't believe something so short-sighted is going to happen. Once we were told that investing in heritage makes economic sense, but this clearly only applies to times of economic boom.Flag

Name: Tim Richardson on Apr 7, 2010Comments: This is an outrageous suggestion, especially in the light of Birmingham's poor history of conservation in the distant past. Do we really want to go back to the 1970's when buildings such as the old library were needlessly demolished to provide expensive (and what turned out to be temporary!) replacements.Flag

Name: Karen Wilson on Apr 16, 2010Comments: I've lived in one of the areas that are under threat from developers (Acocks Green) for years and my Mum and Dad still do, and it's a crime to get rid of these beautiful buildings. Things are bad now but if we lose our Conservation Department things can only get worse and soon there will be no buildings in Birmingham worth saving or restoring. Please don't be short-sighted by cutting the department. It's a false economy and one that shouldn't even be considered!Flag

Name: Anthony Letterese on Apr 19, 2010Comments: 44 Flint Green Road is an exceptionally beautiful Victorian House. It's disgraceful that Birmingham City Council continues to permit the loss of beautiful housing that is unique to Birmingham. Birmingham WAS a beautifiul city until so much was bulldozed in favour of monstrosities such as the Bull Ring Centre and expressways.Flag

By systematically destroying our current built environment to pave the way for future development projects we are surely are stripping away at the very foundations that make our cities such diverse and interesting places in which to work, live and visit.Flag

Name: Yigal Landey on May 31, 2010Comments: Birmingham is fast been known as 'the city without a soul' due to the destruction of any building that has any age or history attatched to it. I object to further cuts been made on the basis that it is not beneficial to the city as a whole.Flag

Name: Rob Sutton on Jul 7, 2010Comments: Another shameful act of allowing Birminghams heritage to take 2nd place to putting profit in developers pockets. Look at the many fine buildings lost over the years when we had a conservation department then consider how bad it would be without one or with the service 'privatised'. If you support Birminghams heritage then support this petition and send a clear message to our Councillors. At Moor Pool www.moorpool.com our planners thought houses more important than allotments.Flag

Name: Margaret O'Hara on Jul 14, 2010Comments: Birmingham has a national reputation for being ugly and spoiled by brutalist 1960s development yet this is a city which helped raise millions of pounds to keep the Staffordshire Horde, demonstrating that its people care about heritage and beauty. Why does the council care so little for our built heritage?Flag

Name: Alan Skinner on Aug 29, 2010Comments: As a teenager i used to read about our 2nd city of Birmingham(after London) and of its fabulous heritage. Sadly when i actually visited it for the first time it was a huge disappointment as there seemed to be hardly any old buildings left!! It would now appear the council stills has that same mindset - out with the old! Birmingham has changed in so many respects so please no more , be proud of your history save these lovely buildings.Flag
