Stop gentrification happening in Brum

Want the process of gentrification taking place across Birmingham to slow down, as those working-class citizens living in these areas cannot afford to live in the area.

Why is this important?

This is important to the people of Birmingham as many who live in inner city areas have seen drastic changes to their environments over the years. Some will argue that gentrification has improved the economy and asthetics of areas, however, local residents, many who have grown up in these areas and are on low incomes, are unable to buy or rent property in the area as they have higher prices than they can afford. Therefore, residents are forced out of the area to areas where it is cheaper to live.
