Latest News.... Broomhill air quality symposium will consider what can be done to improve local air qualitySubmitted by BANG admin 16 January A symposium will be held at the University School of Medicine in Beech Hill Rd on saturday 21st April to consider the causes of the high air pollution levels in Broomhill and what practical steps can be taken to improve the situation. The symposium, which is being organised by Broomhill Forum, will feature an impressive range of speakers with expertise in environmental and public health and also in traffic management. We are particularly pleased that Ben Hamilton-Bailie will attend to speak about the concept of shared space and how this radical approach to traffic management could improve the experience of Broomhill's streets. Watch this space for details of how to register for a place at the symposium, which should be available soon. NEW!

New plans under discussion for the Broomhill Library Submitted by BANG admin 22 November The
plans to move the Broomhill Library to a new building on Ashgate Road
have now fallen through. The council are looking at a number of
alternatives, including a possible new building on Spooner Road, and a
move to Willis House on Peel St. The Broomhill Forum have convened a
library subgroup to look at these options and to consult with all
community stakeholders concerned. The subgroup has already met and is
currently seeking some detailed information on the various options.
Broomhill Village Show - Thanks to all who supported this event! Updated 28th September A glorious sunny day, brilliant turnout and amazing range of talent on display - our very first Village Show exceeded expectations. We had nearly 200 exhibits entered, with particularly stiff competition in cakes, jam, knitting and garden produce. The recycling categories provided some of the biggest surprises with the variety and quality of entries. For the generosity of local businesses who supported the event financially, by donating prizes, and by giving up time to judge the entries, a huge THANK YOU! To see some lovely photos of prize winners and more, follow this link.
