Handsworth Park is not just a park, it's the heart of our community. It's where we gather, play, and celebrate together. Central to this beloved space is the historic Lodge House - a symbol of our shared history and identity. But now, this cherished landmark is at risk.

The Lodge House has stood in Handsworth Park for over a century, witnessing countless community events and personal stories unfold within its vicinity. Its architectural beauty adds to the charm of our park and serves as a reminder of our past.

However, neglect, vandalism and lack of proper maintenance are threatening its existence. If we don't act now, we risk losing an important part of our local heritage forever.

We call upon Birmingham City Council to recognise the importance of preserving this historic building for future generations. We urge them to allocate necessary funds for its restoration so that it can continue being an integral part of Handsworth community life.

Let us not let our history go waste! Let us stand together as proud residents of Handsworth and save the Lodge House from decay! Sign this petition today to show your support for preserving one more piece of Birmingham's rich heritage.
