St Patrick’s Church achieves Grade II*listed status
In 2011, St Patrick’s Church, Salter Street achieved Grade II*listed status. The beautiful Victorian church, designed by Bidlake, had finally been recognised as the very special place it is; there are intricate carvings, ornate decorations, stunning murals and a wonderful ceiling.
To celebrate this there have been several open days, allowing many people to come in and see the treasures for themselves. The next one is on:

Flower Power Car
Notcutts Garden Centre has kicked off its partnership with Solihull in Bloom by unveiling its one-of-a-kind 'Flower Power' car, covered from wheel to window in grass and flowers. The colourful car was parked at the official launch of the competition earlier this month as part of the wider celebrations around the Royal Horticultural Society's Britain in Bloom campaign for 2012.
