HOUSEHOLDERS in Lickey and Blackwell are being invited to have their say on plans to boost the Barnt Green conservation area.

Bromsgrove District Council officers will discuss proposals for the enhancement of the zone at a special session before next Monday's Lickey and Blackwell Parish Council meeting.

The session kicks off at 7pm at Lickey Parish Hall, in Old Birmingham Road, and the parish council meeting begins at 7.30pm.

Officers will discuss the proposals with members of the public who will be invited to submit their views.

Items on the agenda for the parish council meeting include the resignation of Cllr Coral Beavis, the chairman's badge of office and identification for councillors, the former Marlbrook tip and street naming off Station Road.

Also, Blackwell Methodist Church's Trevor Morris will speak to councillors and the public about the problems facing his congregation and its church hall.
