Dear Parents

Birmingham City Council have published the following on their website:

The Ladywood Estate Regeneration Scheme is Birmingham's most significant housing regeneration and redevelopment opportunity in the last generation.

The estate is a short walk from Birmingham's city centre and is near commercial, business and tourist areas west of Birmingham's city centre.

Covering around 60 hectares, the Ladywood Estate is a 1960s residential housing development that is home to over 5,000 residents.

The vision of this scheme is to create a neighbourhood that is:

• sustainable
• family focused
• set within a high-quality environment
• connected by streets and public spaces
• supported by local amenities and facilities

The £2.2 billion scheme, which will take 20 years to complete, aims to provide:

• affordable homes
• fully refitted and refurbished tower blocks
• open spaces, including play areas and parks
• new community facilities such as schools, healthcare facilities, and community spaces
• better connected public transport amenities
• improved walking and cycling routes
• jobs and training opportunities
• funding for community projects
