Monkey Business: Balsall Heath Park 20th August
Friends of Balsall Heath Park | 16.08.2005 10:18 | Birmingham
The park has been badly damaged by the tornado. It was feared that the event would have to be cancelled or at least postponed but local feeling was that the devastation caused by the tornado added extra reason for all efforts to be made for it to go ahead as planned.
Monkey Business is a standard fun day with bouncy castles, races, 5 a side tournament, face painting, music and food. The organisers have declared it a non shopping event and so all activities food and drink will be free.
As a condition of paying for the day the council have asked that they be able to use it as a part of their consultation with the local community over the future regeneration.
Friends Of Balsall Heath park will be collecting ideas on what people want to see done with the park and Balsall Heath Jungle, an organisation that tries to promote gardening and general environmental awareness, will be collecting information on storm damage to trees across the area and their replacement.
