EBNS wins plaudits
The work of a body set up to drive regeneration in some of
the most deprived parts of east Birmingham and north Solihull, and which has
helped to create more than 1,100 jobs in the last five years, has been
celebrated. Set up in 2004 by Advantage West Midlands, the East Birmingham
North Solihull Regeneration Zone has leveraged more than £50m of private sector
investment into the area. At an event held at the Hippodrome theatre in Birmingham, more than 70
partners involved in the activities of the organisation celebrated some of its
successes. Flagship projects have included the regeneration of Chelmsley Wood
Shopping Centre and the Fazeley Studios development in Digbeth.
