UNIVERSITY AND HOSPITAL PARKING MEASURES: Traffic Regulation Order Area 3C
Recent expansions at the University of Birmingham and facilities on the Queen Elizabeth Hospital site mean that more people are now travelling to this area. Together with new homes and an increase in car ownership, there are now significant pressures on parking in local streets. This can have a negative impact on access for deliveries, buses and waste vehicles, and on the safety of all road users. Many properties do not have private off-street parking, and so there are increasing demands on...

We asked
We asked for comments on the proposal by the Governing Body of Baskerville School, to remove boarding provision on 1st April 2025.
You said
Three responses were received via the website from parents/carers of pupils registered at the school and all comments were in objection.
We did
The anonymised comments were shared with the Governing Body of the school and they confirmed that they would like the City Council to make a decision.
The anonymised comments were shared with the decision maker, Birmingham City Council's Cabinet Member for Children Young People and Families. On 18th September 2024 the Cabinet Member approved the Governing Body's proposal to remove the boarding provision from Baskerville School from 1st April 2025, for the following key reasons:
The residential space has not been used since September 2023. There are no pupils on roll at the school with boarding as part of their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), and there has been no demand for this boarding provision as part of pupils’ EHCP's for many years.
Some pupils on roll at the school previously used the residential space for extra-curricular activities, including staying overnight and afterschool activities. Though the school had made use of the residential space for pupils, which may have attracted parents to the school, there are no pupils at the school with boarding as part of their EHCP. The school and City Council officers recognise the disappointment that pupils and families may experience by the removal of the extra-curricular activities.
