Dear Brackley Avenue Residents. During the past week or two, Handsworth Helping Hands have been putting up hanging baskets on many of the houses in the area. It is now Brackley Avenue’s turn. On Friday August 12th we will bring everything you need to complete the next stage of the Four Avenues Project – brightening up the street with hanging baskets and planters on house frontages:

•hanging baskets with fibre and plastic liners and large planter pots

•compost and plants

•trowels and watering cans

•brackets, screws and rawlplugs

Many thanks to those of you who have been working with us to resolve problems and improve life for everyone living in Brackley Avenue. We hope you will be able to join us on Friday.

Please ring Lin or Simon on 0121 554 9794 if you have any questions or wish to give your views about the project. You can also let us know if you have any ideas for inclusion in the project.

Lovely day. Busy. Nick was kept especially active fixing brackets, as just about every householder wanted a hanging basket. Children and grown-ups set to planting the baskets. During the work, a resident brought us all cakes, biscuits and tea. More work was generated - filling up the van with more litter and heavy objects. Plants were donated by Birmingham City Council park staff in the compound at Handsworth Park.
