Consultation on proposal for community use of Spitfire House

We are looking for your ideas as to how we should best use the ground floor community space in Spitfire House.

BMetC sold Spitfire House, or Castle Vale Community Campus as it is known to some, to East Birmingham Network Free School (EBN) in July 2015. Since then the Free School has opened, making use of the first and second floor in the building. The ground floor of the building is protected for community learning use and over the past few months community representatives have been meeting with the EBN to negotiate the use of this space.

The TRA will have better office facilities with more private interview space. The library will continue in the same space with upgraded toilet facilities. The TRA will manage the community facilities which will include rooms for community hire and other community uses.

We are confident that we can make better use of the building for the community – but we need to know what you want so please share your thoughts about how the community can make better use of the building.
