The Project has agreed with the Job Centre that we need a better referral process. Hopefully, with this in place we can better support local people with job searches, CV writing, and food bank.
So we’ve agreed that referrals will be made by phone. Alison will email everyone in her office to advise them of this and that if they make a referral they need to ask to speak to Stacey to arrange appointments.
Dont worry though, an appointment isn’t needed you aren’t refered through the Job centre.
This is an exciting oppotunity and depending on how the service goes there could be a paid possistion in the Future, keep in mind folks, our main concern is serving the Resisdants of Brierley Hill.
Another quick few announcements: Afterschool’s club is still running 3.30-5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, The Food Bank is still open, and you can collect vouchers from Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), and lastly anything you want to know give us a call!

Brierley Hill Town Centre Partnership has established a working party to look at parking issues in the town.
Despite media speculation the introduction of car park charging at Merry Hill will not take place for several years yet.
The partnership heard that despite this there were a number of concerns relating to car parking within the town – in particular parking on residential streets causing a nuisance to residents whilst car parks remain under used.
The informal working party which involves representatives of the council, the police, the town’s community forum and the partnership will meet on 11th February to identify the issues, work out a plan to engage with local communities and to come up with potential solutions to the problems.
Cllr Angus Adams, Dudley’s lead member for transportation said:
“The council recognises that there are issues in the Brierley Hill area and we are keen to listen to residents problems.
“It is not always possible to come up with perfect solutions, but with good sense all around we hope to work with the local community to see what can be done to make things better.”
