GO-AHEAD FOR CONTROVERSIAL MOVE

- ALEXANDER BROCK Local Democracy Reporter

A CONTROVERSIAL change at Alexander Stadium ‘will enhance the venue's legacy; Birmingham City Council said.

The Perry Barr stadium played a central role in the 2022 Commonwealth Games, hosting both the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the athletics competitions.

There's also optimism the venue will help put Birmingham on the world sporting map and deliver a long-term legacy.

But a divisive plan to hand the running of the site to Birmingham Community Leisure Trust (BCLT) and its partners, Serco, until 2030 was met with anger earlier this year.

Resident Andrew Gulliver, who launched an online petition against the ‘handover’ said Alexander Stadium “belongs to Birmingham, not to Serco”.

“The Alexander Stadium site was built as a lasting legacy for our city,” he said at the time.
