Future Stirchley: 'A Street of Opportunity'

What does the future of the high street look like? After a steady decline through the 1980s and 90s, the past couple of decades have seen a reverse in fortunes for Stirchley High Street as people brought fresh energy with new ideas and commitment that are making a positive impact.

In this short film, shop and business owners, residents and users are asked their thoughts on what this High Street means to them and how they see its future. What it reflects is the deep connection this community feels to Stirchley, and to each other.
