Welcome!

Welcome to the website for Selly Park South Neighbourhood Forum

Selly Park South Neighbourhood Forum is our residents' community group. The forum's purpose is:

- to raise awareness of issues and developments in the community

- to provide an open forum for neighbours to raise local issues for discussion, and bring them to the attention of councillors, the police and other local government representatives

- to enable local community groups to make connections with residents

- to help and support in building communities in the neighbourhood

We represent residents in the area from Pershore Road to the River Rea, between Pershore Avenue and Dogpool Lane in the Selly Park area of south Birmingham - made up of the five street block of Kitchener/Hobson/Cecil/ Fashoda/Manila and the streets off Pershore Road between Holly and Pershore avenues
