The aim of this petition is to stop Birmingham City Football Club from building a new stadium.
They already have one which is suitbale for their needs, if a little large, and if there is one thing Birmingham doesn\'t need it is a massive identikit eyesore with a casino stuck on the side.
Planning permission would be more worthwhile for increasing the capacity at the already existing Villa Park, which is a much better venue and is likely to be filled much more regularly.
I have spent my week digging through the planning documents and the sheer lack of regard for our neighborhood architecture is staggering. Dealing with these developers is exhausting but the stories you are all sharing about how this will disrupt our daily lives keep me going.

Seeing this community unite against the destruction of our neighborhood landscape gives me hope that we can actually protect our home. I grew up walking these streets and hearing the hum of the city, so knowing so many people feel just as strongly about stopping this casino really hits home.

Sick of these big projects coming in and destroying the character of the city. traffic is bad enough already without more crowds. focus on improving what we actually have instead of wasting money.

St. Andrews is fine as it is. We dont need another ugly concrete block taking up space and ruinning the neighbourhood. Keep the noise and traffic out of here.
