Application for judicial review was refused today but #SaveSmallbrook says “We vow to fight on because we know history is on our side.... this is just a setback. We have lost a legal argument but not the argument that matters.”@brutifulbrum @BHAMFHC @zerocarbonhouse

[Birmingham Fair Housing Campaign @BHAMFHC]

We're with @brutifulbrum @zerocarbonhouse to 'Save Smallbrook'. We're
demanding that we put the interests of people & planet before the interests of greedy private developers. Our buildings shouldn't be disposed of like 'fast fashion' - we're facing an existential climate crisis!

[RetrofitBalsallHeath @RetrofitBH]

All the best our Save Smallbrook Team at the Royal Courts of Justice appeal today #SaveSmallbrook @zerocarbonhouse @brutifulbrum
