Working with resident-led Witton Lodge
Community Association (WLCA),
Birmingham City Council and
Lovell Partnerships

3. Birmingham’s first
community-led
housing and
the final phase of
redevelopment in
Perry Common

4. 2 new
apprenticeships
created:
a bricklayer and
carpenter,
who started in April
2014.

5. “They were exactly the
sort of organisation for
which our community-led
programme was all about.
They demonstrated
strong community
governance, resident
involvement and a clear
understanding of local
needs.
Baggi Mattu, HCA Area
Manager
We are really
pleased that our
support is
enabling them to
deliver these 20
really important
homes in their
20th year”

6. “A lot of work has
been done in Perry
Common over the last
20 years to improve
the housing and
environment and it’s
great that work to
build more homes is
still going on today.
It makes you feel
proud to be from
Perry Common.”
Linda Hines, Resident Director
and Chair of WLCA
I have lived here for
over 30 years and
it’s really good to
meet new people
who are moving into
the area and who
are really excited
about living here,
which hasn’t always
been the case.
