This will be so important. Let's shine a light on Tower Ballroom tomorrow, not only to mark the passing of a cultural resource that served us for over 150 years but also to illuminate that local people deeply care about and need to be heard around futures for Edgbaston Reservoir.

Thursday the 6th of January 2022 we are joining together, to shine a light on our beloved Reservoir. The Tower Ballroom is scheduled for demolition from January 10th, which opens the door to unwelcome change and will disrupt the nature of our reservoir.

In support of our reservoir, we will be holding a short candle vigil, Thursday 6th of January at 4:30pm for 30 minutes. We will be meeting by the lodge and will ensure social distancing measures.

Any questions? Want to help? Please get in touch with us at [email protected]

Hope to see you all there!
