Perry Barr Garage

[BK63 YWP]

A garage engineer politely informed me yesterday of the new site location which did surprise me. Are we still not allowed to say? Because I believe it's pretty much confirmed

Is it hockley haha

[monkeyjoe]

Arh go on , is it nearer or further away from the city centre?

When it was first announced the PB was to close it was suggested it would close by. I live  fairly close to PB and couldn't think of anywhere it could go !

What about that huge piece of wasteland opposite Wickes on Aldridge Road? That land is absolutely huge.

I asked a driver on the 907 about that land opposite Wickes and he said it wasn't big enough

[John]

The land opposite Wickes is a lot bigger than it looks as it goes behind the houses next to it. When you look at both the current garage and that land on Google Earth, the land is bigger than our garage now . See the attached picture, Curent garage in red at the bottom and the land opposite Wickes at the top. I have heard one of the sites rumoured but I would personally build it on this land

Nothing has been confirmed to us at the garage either

You should know shouldn't you?

I did hear that going about a while back and also another site that was going to be used, but not heard anything about it recently

[Mike K]

Possibly a daft question, but would there have to be a planning application, which would presumably be in the public domain, for the new garage?

[The Fox 4846]

I'm not sure if it's officially confirmed but the guy was definently adamant that what he told me is going to happen. It's still going to be Wellhead lane if he's right

[monkeyjoe]

I did try and look on the council site and didn't see any planning applications

[Lukeee]

There's new units been built on the hub, witton. Not sure if they would be big enough to accommodate all of PBs fleet however

Excuse my ignorance is the hub a totally different location and what's located there at the moment ?

The Hub is pretty much the area all behind the current garage, that and the new Wholesale Markets take up the site of the old chemical works between the railway line, Wellhead Lane and Witton Lane
