DO YOU LIVE IN NICHOLAS ROAD, OR ON THE CHESTER ROAD BETWEEN THE STREETLY SCHOOL AND BRIDLE LANE? IF SO WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Peter Roberts, Chairman of Neighbourhood Watch, is no longer able to deliver the SCAN magazines to these roads. He has been acting co-ordinator for some years now but is no longer able to take on this extra work.
Neighbourhood Watch therefore needs two volunteers who will deliver the magazines four times a year collecting subscriptions with the May delivery.
Regretfully, if no volunteers come forward, no more Scan magazines can be delivered in these roads.
Although collecting subscriptions with the May delivery is a slightly longer job, just posting the magazines the rest of the year takes very little time and can also be done at any time to suit you. It is also an excellent way to get to know and keep in touch with your neighbours.
If you can help please contact Tricia McEvoy on 0121 353 8656.

Your views about North Walsall Bus Network
Partners Arriva Midlands, Centro, Midland, Midland Rider, National Express West Midlands and Walsall Council surveyed the public on the current bus network in North Walsall to form part of a review of bus services in April 2010.
The results and findings will be shown on the Network West Midlands website
Aldridge Buses first to trial new pre-paid systems
The first pre-paid Smartcards are set to be introduced on National Express West Midlands buses as part of a trial launched in January 2010.
The new £20 million system will allow passengers to ‘top up’ their fares before they travel, similar to the Oyster card system used in London.
The first trials of the Smartcard technology are currently under way in the region on some Silverline and Central buses, including the 679 Wednesbury to Yew Tree Estate via Friar Park system and the 118 Fort Shopping Park to Aldridge via Kingstanding.
But trials are set to be rolled out to routes operated by National Express West Midlands, the region’s biggest bus operator, by the end of January.
The first of its fleet to get the swipe card technology will be in the Yardley area of Birmingham. If successful it would pave the way for the scheme to go live across the region’s 2,500 buses later in the year.
Centro spokeswoman Babs Coombes said the trial was already going well on the Central and Silverline buses since coming in at the end of November.
“We are seeing how that goes at the moment and we are now looking to put the machines in the first National Express buses in the Birmingham area,” she said. “The trials are going well but we want to make sure we get it right.”
She said there was no specific date for the general roll-out of the scheme as it depended on how the trials went.
The new concessionary passes issued to pensioners all contain a chip to make them Smartcard-enabled and are being used in trials.
IMPORTANT
Please note that as from 6th April 2010, the West Midlands police force will be introducing a new '0345' number.
The adoption of this new number will mean that anyone calling West Midlands Police will not have to pay premium rate when using a mobile phone. Currently, whilst callers from some networks pay only local rate, callers from other mobiles are charged at a very high rate.
In an effort to make the transition as seamless as possible, the force will retain the rest of the current central switchboard number - 0345 113 5000 and the existing '0845' number will continue to work for several months.
Old number 0845 113 5000
New number 0345 113 5000
Rooms for hire at Blackwood Methodist Church, Blackwood Road, Streetly.

Great News for local businesses
Central Buses are hoping to help beat the recession by offering local businesses in the Streetly and Sutton Coldfield areas free advertising on their vehicles. The adverts will be displayed on flat screen LCD monitors on the S1 bus service which operates between Sutton Coldfield and Erdington via Mere Green, Streetly, Kingstanding and New Oscott.
Geoff Cross, managing director of Central Buses, has introduced this initiative to ensure the survival of the S1 route. Hopefully, by offering free advertising to local businesses and shops Central Buses will be doing whatever it can to help them during the economic downturn. see more information on the Streetly area bus services page
