Brandwood Pool Plinth repaired.

For a while now the plinth used by families to feed the ducks at Brandwood Pool has been rotten and not really safe but we are pleased to say it is back in use again. Dean, the Ranger, helped by Wendy and her team of students from Bournville College have redesigned the base and removed all that wood and replaced it with hard core. Lots of baby moor hens, coots and ducks to feed. Keep your eyes peeled for our daily Woodpecker visitor. He likes the large Oak on the far side of the pool.  20140428_141028

 

Brandwood Pool lies adjacent to the Cemetery but walking access is via Whittington Close B14 6JW.

The Friends are always looking for help at work parties and litter picks. They can be contacted on 0121 605 4316.

Just a few reminders of why our members hold Brandwood End Cemetery so dear.
