Cattells Grove Street Champions

Street Champions are out and about in Cattells Grove as part of a citywide project that gives each resident who signs up access to an environmental grant which can be spent for the benefit of local residents.

The project involves partnership working with CSV Environment, Groundwork Birmingham and Solihull and Birmingham Association of Neighbourhood Forums (BANF), with CSV delivering the scheme alongside Birmingham City Council.

Four Cattells Grove champions decided to pool their grant money in order to transform a neglected verge on the side of a footpath into a beautiful shrub area.  The Street Champion budget provided trip railing and a grass area to protect the shrubs.

The group also planted up to 20 hanging baskets that were hung outside houses on Cattells Grove and installed glass bottle banks so local reisdents can recylce their glass.
