Digbeth High Street – Festival Street
The idea was put forward by Cllr Martin Mullaney on The Stirrer the other day – Millennium Square is going to be unavailable soon as it’s being turned into a park.

Or would ‘debacle’ be better? ‘Embarrassment’, maybe?) of the Christmas Lights switch-on.
A fine question from Nicky Getgood though:
how will the council deal with noise complaints from local residents who find the festivals disruptive?
