| 1652 | paul clarke | i may be to late for my vote to count but digbeth and it's pubs should stay they were there before these yuppies and their posh flats |

| 1661 | Kate Walshe | i went to the Spotted Dog for the first time last Friday, and I am glad to say that it is a real pub, with no pretensions. Even with only a handful of people in there because it was early, there is a lovely atmosphere there. I have known of its reputation for some time as i have lived in Birmingham all my life.
If people at "Abacus" bought without checking the area first, that is their problem. Most of Birmingham's old pubs are disappearing at an alarming rate, so make sure that this Pub does not go also. Birmingham has a lot of Irish people - myself included - and this proper Irish Pub needs to be cherished. |

| 1663 | Anonymous | The pub was there first.
More people enjoy the events than those that complain! |
| 1664 | Richard Spears | Concerning those who may complain,
lots of people want to live in the city, but unfortunately not many want anything to do with it.. Digbeth is here for a reason, as is Solihull, go and live there, im sure theres an Ember-Inn you will just love. No change in Digbeth, no change at the Spotted Dog. |

| 1669 | Anne O'Leary | I support this petition as a resident of the city centre. It is vital that we build on the current local community adding to its history, vibrancy, colour and diversity. A little noise comes as part of the territory of city living - and I for one love it. |
| 1670 | Anonymous | The Spotted Dog is a fantastic pub - it was my dad's local when he was my age, and now I have moved to the Abacus building, it'll be mine too. |

| 1685 | Adam Robins | As a resident of The Abacus Building I would like to lend my support to this petition. I moved to the area of Digbeth and more specifically The Abacus Building BECAUSE of the vibrant nightlife in the area and NOT despite of it. It is venues such as The Rainbow, The Custard Factory and The Spotted Dog that have helped regenerate a once run down industrial area and turn it into the lively, vibrant and creative hub that exists today. I find it very frustrating that people can move into an area such as Digbeth knowing full well that pubs, clubs and bars exist in the vicinity to then moan and complain about them. Such complaints can ultimately jeopardise the livelihood of the people that own and work in the venues. Those same venues which existed long before the area became residential are responsible for turning a once derelict industrial area into what can now be described as a “trendy” and desirable place to live. If venues such as The Spotted Dog, The Custard Factory and The Rainbow hadn’t existed I suggest that Digbeth would still be full of empty and derelict warehouses where no one would want to live or even walk for fear of their own personal safety. Venues such as The Custard Factory, The Rainbow and The Spotted Dog should be supported by the local community, not demonised. |

| 1687 | Emma Marks | The Spotted Dog provides a brilliant and unique artistic and social haven for all. The service it provides for the whole community in and around Digbeth is second to none - there are very few places left like this . The whole community benefits in many ways as it is a hub of musical activity that brings a wide and diverse audience together |
| 1688 | Tony hill | The pub was here before the Abacus apartments.The residents knew there was a pub close by,why should the few complaints over rule the majority in the community. |

| 1693 | Samuel Hodgins | Why is our culture and way of life constantly under threat from Labour, Digbeth Pubs have been there for centuries Labour has`nt and will be dullie dispatched come May 2010 |

| 1696 | Julia Higginbottom | keep on fighting the good fight, a balanced approach to city living/leisure needs to be addressed before the minority shut a well loved pub |
| 1697 | Tony Lyons | One of the main reasons I moved back to Birmingham, bringing my family into the local economy, was because of the cultural facilities on offer in the Digbeth area.
The reason I didn’t move to Digbeth is because I have a child and it is not suitable for my needs, was I not to have a child I would be there is a shot for - what it offers, knowing the advantages and pitfalls.
The Spotted Dog is a very important resource for the community and I have great fears for the consequences of the current action. |
