I have been informed that Sandwell Council have contacted Holloways at
Valencia Wharf at approximately 4-30pm today (Thursday) and told them
that they require planning permission for change of use. That should
give us some breathing space! Interest is being shown in various places
with protests being sent to Sandwell. I was also informed that Sandwell
Council said they had been talking to British Waterways who have
declared an interest.

Thank you to all who have shown interest and expressed your thoughts to
BW, Sandwell or even Holloways themselves. If you haven't done so - its
not too late - the more people object the stronger the protest!
