The University of Birmingham has a requirement for looking for a Main Contractor for River Cole Public Green Spaces Works.

Research and engagement with the local community has identified that the area is currently underutilised as a route for commuting and travel through the area, or as a green space for leisure and physical activity.

Alongside the environmental improvements to woodland, grassland and river habitats to open up of the area, the project will improve the habitat for citizens by creating a new area of green public space on the cycle/foot path to connect the cycle path and river to the local community.

There will also be activities to replace areas of cycle/foot path and introduce security by design measures such as lighting, mirrors and signage in identified areas.

The River Cole and Tyseley Community Commons project is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, and is delivering a series of interventions to rehabilitate an area of green and blue space in Tyseley, East Birmingham.

The project area for the capital works comprises of: - Kingfisher Park between the A45 and Hobmoor Road - Tyseley Park along the River Cole from the A45 to the Grand Union Canal - Ackers Adventure This works focuses on creating public green spaces that will be available for the local community.
