Solihull Council has recently invested money into leisure services for children and young people with disabilities. The money used was grant funding from DCATCH and came from the government.

So that they can continue to improve leisure services for children and young people with disabilities they would like you to spend some time telling then how they can further improve and what you think they need to do next.

This survey can be filled in by parents of a child with a disability or by a young person themselves.

Take the survey.

Castle Bromwich Parish Council is  considering enforcing the byelaw for dogs to be kept on leads at all times in the playing fields at Arden Hall. Your views are being asked for so please write to the Council to say if you would support or object to this measure by 30th November. Helpful suggestions on alternative measures would also be welcome.

Byelaws exist to protect everyone but the Parish Council needed the help of the local neighbourhood police team after one particular incident and action was taken with a control order being issued. Temporary measures have also been put in place on occasions.

The Leisure Services Committee will be pleased to consider suggestions or views on this subject in writing by 30th November. Recommendations will then be made to the Parish Council at a later date.
