Signpost to Close on Friday 18th December, 2009

On behalf of the staff, volunteers and, Partners staff we would like to record our gratitude and appreciation to all our clients, local people and service users, particularly over the last three years.

During 2009 Signpost, 175 High Street has been visited by 5,565 clients to date, referred over 960 local people to College courses, completed 600 Cvs, and assisted over 240 people into work.

We have supported several initiatives to encourage the re-development of our High Street and assisted Partners with their efforts to engage local people in pathways to work.

We have all greatly enjoyed working with our colleagues on the High Street and wish them all every success in the future.

We wish our service users all the best and a ‘Thank You’ for their generous support.

A Final Report on Signposts work will be posted to the Noticeboard downloads prior to 11th December, 2009.

Compliments of the Festive Season and every success in 2010.

Moor Street Glass Centre visit – photographs

PB164327The Civic Society visited Moor Street Glass Centre on Monday 16th November.  The building was opened in 1904 and funded by Andrew Carnegie.  For many years it provided the town with its library, technical institue and glass museum.

The future of the building is now uncertain.  Dudley College no longer needs to use the building as is looking at disposal of its asset to fund improvements to its estate elsewhere. 

Following its visit the Civic Society felt that it would rather see the building used than left to stand and deteriorate and would like a future use to preserve the strong internal features – it therefore resolved to write to Dudley College to ask them to take this into account in its future plans.

The building is in the new Brierley Hill Conservation area and the Society will also be asking its local councillors to adopt a watching brief on proposals that come forward for the future use of the building.
