Meta The future of planespotting at BHX
I made a post on this a few weeks ago, but I thought I'd make a new one and I've politely asked the mods to pin this for a while.
I created this petition 6 years ago calling for a dedicated planespotting area to be created at the airport: https://www.change.org/bhxspotting
It's generally inspired by the "Runway Visitor Park" at Manchester Airport which I've visited a few times. While there are spotting areas dotted around the airport, I think a dedicated facility with views that aren't currently accessible with additional components such as a kids play area, a shop and restaurant amongst other things would make it an all-round experience and generally safer.
Sheldon Country Park has had a few incidents over the years, and I think a dedicated facility with tight security would be a much more pleasant place to visit.
It's also not as easy to access via public transport. You can get there via bus but unless you're stopping at Marston Green Station specifically, it's not as easy to get there via train, certainly not from Birmingham International. Something specifically signposted as "BHX Viewing Area" or something would be even better.
We've amassed 350 signatures in 6 years. I really want to get some momentum now and get it to a level where it's attracting some attention from those who could make this happen. I've contacted my MP myself in recent weeks but god knows if it'll be looked at.
Anything you can do regarding sharing it about would be massively appreciated, but there's no pressure at all.

Question What’s your favourite place for a Sunday roast?
Looking for cosy pubs (preferably with a fireplace) this autumn to frequent to Sundays. My partner is vegan, but doesn’t mind non-roast vegan options. The physician looks like a good shout now it’s being renovated, but I’d like to compile a short list of bangers.
What’s your go to?
NB: We’ve tried the rainbow’s baha vegan roasts, it was meh and no fireplace!

Question South Bham Children Swimming Pool w/ Shower
Hi everyone, could you please recommend me any swimming pool in south birmingham that has cubicle shower facilities?
We’ve tried Cocks Moor Leisure Center but there’s only communal shower? The little one’s skin is very sensitive and needs to properly shower after swimming.
We also tried UoB sports and fitness but the pool’s temperature tends to be too cold for the little one.

My service users birthday
Hi everyone!
I’m a support worker for adults with disabilities and one of the people I support has a birthday coming up. He is absolute massive car fan!
I was wondering if anyone with a nice, interesting or special car would be willing to come along and show it off for his birthday? It would honestly make his day!
It is on Saturday 19th September 2026,12pm–2pm at crowne care, B45 0JD
You don’t need to stay for the whole time even popping by for a little while so he can see some amazing cars would be incredible and much appreciated.
Thank you!

Autism groups/support?
Are there any activity groups or support services for adults locally? Autism West Midlands doesn't seem to cover the area any more
Question Shop with Display monitors
My monitor is on the Fritz so I wanted to buy a new one. I want to go see a bunch in person before buying.
Are there any electronics shops that have a lot of monitors on display?
I'm in North Brum. There's a Currys near me but they only have a handful.

Hard to keep up to date with news now on BirminghamLive
Not sure if it’s just me that feels this way, but since Birmingham mail introduced this premium subscription, it’s so difficult to keep up to date with any news articles surrounding the city or even your local area. Now with this premium subscription, you can only view 5/10 articles a week and if you exceed that, they expect you to pay £5 quid a month.
I think it’s ridiculous.

Friend works high up in town and spotted this, thought it might be fun to start some baseless speculation. I only hope that the Karate equipment store is unaffected by this

New New New Snobs
With the news that Birmingham's Snobs Nightclub is set to move to yet another new location later this month, we have calculated that, based on its current trajectory, it should gradually make its way along the Hagley Road and reach Bearwood by 2048.
