It'll be a temporary reinstatenment - they'll come along and do the proper one later is my guess.

I should add this was taken about a 18 months ago.

If anyone's popping by would they mind having a look?

A compilation from my run in Erdington at 6pm today. The council have just done some work in Bleak Hill Park to soften the landscape. Much better than the hard engineered culvert.

Starting from the top going clockwise.
Top - Witton Lakes
Bottom right - Bleak Hill Park Culvert
Bottom left - Plane taken from Bleak Hill Park
Left - 'Natural' Bleak Hill Culvert.

Does anyone know the actual name of the stream?

Was with someone with an electric car the other week. Some reason they all have 13 amp sockets, which takes ages to charge a car. Why they couldn't have fitted them with 32A powercon or C form sockets I don't know, they are waterproof too. For 90% of electric vehicles these sockets are useless.

The fine interior of Bennetts pub on Bennetts Hill. Always thought they could do more with this place.

Church Street Square is finished now after 6 months. Nice little project i fear it overran its original budget.

Doesn't look bad at all, although it looks pretty lifeless. With the dynamic of the area changing, though, it should see a bit of use.
