The New Frankley in Birmingham Parish Council is exploring the possibility of establishing a community fishing project at Frankley Reservoir and is seeking local input.

Councillor Curtis Brittain is investigating the feasibility of developing a community fishing initiative at Frankley Reservoir. The project is currently in its initial consultation phase, with no definitive decisions or financial commitments made.
The primary aim of this consultation is to gauge the level of interest among local residents to determine if the proposal warrants further development. Views are being sought on whether residents or their household members would utilise a community fishing facility, the potential frequency of use, and any suggestions for the project.
Further details are available on the consultation poster. Residents can also submit their views directly to Cllr Brittain via email at cllr.curtis.brittain@newfrankleyinbirminghamparishcouncil.gov.uk.
The council hopes that feedback received through the parish council Facebook page and local community groups will provide a clear indication of interest before any further steps are taken.
