Andrew Mitchell met with the Gracechurch Centre manager, Angela Henderson, and Julie Hopkins, the Head of Operations at CSO, the security company who look after the Gracechurch centre’s security and cleaning.

He said:

“I was relieved to hear that the media reporting of the ‘mass brawl’ incident was overblown and that the security guard who broke up the fight was not injured at all.

“However, I understand that many of my constituents are concerned about anti-social behaviour in the centre of our Town and would like to see the revival of our High Street.

“Sutton Coldfield is very lucky to have the BID (Business Improvement District), on which Angela is now a Board Director.

“BID is in its 11th year and is an important politically-backed approach in helping address problems seen across the whole country and notably in Sutton Coldfield- the effect of the digital economy on brick and mortar retail.

“I would like to thank CSO for keeping Gracechurch clean, tidy and safe.”
