All the focus on HS2 is on what happens next rather than the last 10 years. Whatever decision is made there are serious questions about the competence of the British state and successive administrations that a 330 mile high-speed train line has proven (apparently) impossible.

Incredibly proud our new LGBTQ+ Network, Pride at Turley, has now launched - it's been a delight working with @_jimsim_ and @NeilAWoodhouse on this over the past year or so. Looking forward to connecting co-owners and bringing about change and education 🌈

We have some tea to spill 👀

BBC Birmingham's move to a new state-of-the-art headquarters in Digbeth moved a significant step closer today, as The Tea Factory was given the green light by Birmingham City Council planners ☕️

[Turley @turleyplanning]

Exciting news, on behalf of @stofordltd we have helped secure #planning approval for the BBC’s new home at the former Typhoo Tea Factory in #Digbeth: https://t.co/anMy8HLtKY

[ItsYourBuild - Birmingham @BuildsWeAre]

🎬 The BBC’s move into the 1929-built Typhoo Factory has moved a major step closer after @BhamCityCouncil approved the net-zero project.

‘The Tea Factory’ will become an 84K SF broadcast centre – what an exciting era for #Birmingham.
