The old hospital buildings on Anderton Park Road should be repossessed and turned into appartments - before they fall down!!! Developers purposly run down listed buildings so they can eventually knock them down and build something cheeper. This should be illegal. 30/06/2010 - 16:48 BP7-254 Visitor
Spend some money on them. Get the council to take action against people who let building fall in to disrepair. Mind you I wrote to the 'Conservation Dept' at the council some years ago about the old Moseley School of Art building. They didn't ever reply. 01/06/2010 - 15:01 BP7-252 Visitor
