@ReissOmari Thanks for the comments @ReissOmari, the LED lights have been installed by the BID and the plan is for them to stay year round. Timers will be re-set soon to be on from late afternoon to early evening. The LED lights will also stay in the trees on High Street.

Can we PLEASE keep these lights on New Street? New Street and Colmore Row are the only streets in the city centre that FEEL like real streets. So bright and welcoming. We really need more of this in the City, not empty cold spaces like Corporation St and High Street.

Paddington has arrived in Birmingham! Fans can take a pew next to Paddington on his very own bench at the Medicine Terrace at Selfridges, Bullring, launched today by @brumlordmayor @Studiocanaluk @paddingtonbear #PaddingtonInPeru

Who better than Mr Brown himself to announce Paddington Visits… statues of the nation’s favourite marmalade-loving bear will be taking a seat in locations across the UK and Ireland in early October.

Great start to the weekend for Jamaica in the Square #Jamaica0121 it’s there until Sunday.
