But after a long campaign by local charities and community groups, the council is to pass some of the running of the estate to an advisory group of local representatives. The exact responsibilities of the group are still to be decided. Tony Thapar, coordinator of the Moseley Community Development Trust, one of the charities involved in the campaign, said: “We’re now talking to some groups that want to use the grounds, and we hope to start charitable activity on the site soon.
