End of an Era – Jewellery Quarter Closure

Posted by:
7 Apr 2010

Thursday 1st April 2010 saw the closure of the Jewellery Quarter Regeneration Partnership office along with the disbanding of its support staff, after almost 10 years.  The girls were presented with flowers and gifts by Marie Haddleton, president of the Jewellery Quarter Association, on behalf of various organisations within the Jewellery Quarter – all of whom gathered to wish them well.

The Operations Director, Andy Munro, has been left with the responsibility of delivering the fifty or so projects that he and his team have been responsible for on behalf of Birmingham City Council and the local Jewellery Quarter community.

Dave Mahony, Jewellery Quarter Association Chair, on behalf of the Community Campaign Group said “it is a sad day for the Quarter to lose such dedicated staff but we now need to ensure that the City Council deliver on its promises”.

Following extensive lobbying by the JQ lobby, Birmingham City Council has agreed to keep the Information Centre, its commitment to the delivery of the £1.75m Golden Square project and its intention to bid for World Heritage Status for the Quarter.

We are now awaiting further confirmation of BCC’s support to the delivery of an agreed Action Plan containing the various projects necessary for the sustainability of the Jewellery Quarter and the part that it will play in the Big City Plan.
