Shaping Birmingham’s Transport

I realise that some of you are still contemplating attendance to the event or are unsure about submitting entries to the superb competition opportunity! I hope that the hot and great updates below will help you make the right decision about getting involved and shaping your city’s transport system.

Firstly, The HOT News!!! The Leader of the City Council, Councillor Mike Whitby, has confirmed to attend the conference, as has the BBC Midlands Today’s Transport Correspondent, Peter Plisner. Remember that if you do decide to enter for the competition and your entry does make it to the final round, you will be presenting it to ‘important’ people  in the city which now includes Cllr Mike Whitby and Peter Plisner from the BBC!

Furthermore, for those who are worried that they will not be able to get involved because of time constraints, after our meeting yesterday it has been agreed that the Competition deadline be extended to 19^th March 2009!!! This gives you longer to get your group together and submit an entry. Go to ‘Tips and Advice’ for more information on how to make your entry successful. Remember: you can be as creative as you like but it is always a good idea to keep it simple!!!
