Erdington High Street? Bargain Streetmore like!

Shopping local in Erdington means getting the bestvalue for money and cutting those Christmas

expenses!Christmas seems to get moreexpensive every year, especially ifyou are buying for more people everyyear, as you add to your family andcircle of friends!

It’s well known now that we in theHigh Street have long promoted the‘Shop Local, Shop Erdington’ banner,and with very good reason - theshops here have wonderful bargainsand almost everything you need tocomplete your Christmas is here -without having to travel to out-of-townshopping centres.

As an example one of the things weare blessed with in the High Street, isgood quality jewellery shops - each ofwhom are small independentbusinesses who can offer top qualityproducts for bargain prices.Sometimes, particularly with items likejewellery, when you are dealing withthe bigger names, bargains areharder to come by. Shop at DirectJewellers, The Goldbar, and GoldenCrystal for unique Christmas gifts.

As more and more shoppers aredeserting the main centres for theInternet, local High Streets likeErdington are fighting back. Thereason? People actually live there!

Shoppers want a place they can strollto, meet and talk to friends, get greatservice form assistants who knowtheir face, and stop for a drink as well.

Looking at it this way, it is perhaps notremarkable that shoppers still wantplaces they are familiar with, placesthat offer a friendly face, andsometimes, somewhere to go to justto get away.

Erdington may not be Mayfair, andyes, we do have problems like otherareas, but the familiarity is what holdsit together. To cap it all, Erdingtonoffers second-to-none bargains in awide range of shops, wherePoundland can help with low costdecorations, or New Look andPeacocks can show you the latestgreatest fashions for a fraction of thecost, it’s all here.

To keep costs down at the Christmasdinner table, we have a wide range offood shops to help you do just that,and Walter Smith, our traditional localbutcher can help and advise on thebest quality meat products to helpmake your Christmas memeorable.

Shop Local, Shop Erdington!

Erdington’s own Lynne Buffery(pictured) has been running a smalllocal cat rescue for 20 years and 10years prior was volunteering with theumbrella charity ‘Cats in Care’. Afterretiring from her taxing day job atHMRC earlier this year, she isdevoting all her time to ‘cat work’ –and wants to take the opportunity tothank everyone who ‘helps, raisesfunds, fosters and generally supportsthe work of Team Cat Rescue’. Thisincludes the co-op on the High Street,who host a TCR cat food bin, and allthose customers who pop a can of catfood or a packet of Dreamies in everyweek when they shop.

Says Lynne: “Our main focus isneutering – it’s vital to keep the catpopulation down. Just recently wetook in 2 adults and 5 tiny new-bornkittens all dumped together in arecycling bin. They were handed in to

Pype Hayes vets by a member of thepublic, and the vets asked us if we’dtake them on. This happens often.People who don’t get their catsneutered and then dump them whenthey see the results – litter after litterof kittens. There are never enoughadopters, and always too manykittens, sadly.

“We do all we can to spread theneutering message. Cats Protectioneven has a ‘£5 to neuter your cat’scheme. We, along with CatsProtection North Birmingham, implorecat owners on low incomes or benefitsto take advantage of it.”

Team Cat Rescue is appealing formore fosterers, fundraisers and‘anyone who can help in any way’.Biggest on TCRs wish-list just now isa free stall, table or unit in either ofthe Erdington markets that she couldhave as a fundraiser once a month.

“Supporters donate bric-a-brac andall sorts for us to sell to raise themoney to pay the vet bills. We haveone at the Swan in Yardley, but wouldso appreciate one in our own backyard – which, of course, is Erdington.”

Lynne can be contacted on 0121373 4596, and cats and kittens

ready for adoption can be foundat teamcatrescue-

bham.weebly.com. Team CatRescue has a Facebook page too.

Erdington library as busy as ever – beforeand after Christmas!

Isn’t it amazing to think that Erdingtonlibrary is one hundred and eleven yearsyears old – built in 1907 – yet is still openfive days a week, has just had areception area makeover, and is provingmore popular than ever with young andold alike.

October half-term saw local childrenenjoying an event put on jointly by NorthBirmingham Cats Protection and librarystaff and volunteers.

‘Gizzy’s Big Adventure’ – a children’scat-care story book – kept youngsterslistening and learning at the feline funafternoon held on Tuesday, 30 October.The children who came along wereaccompanied by their Mums and Dadsand a great time was had by all. Afterstory-time, they had fun exploring aroundthe library bookshelves to find hidden-away ‘cat-related items’ – toys, feedingbowls and cat beds – proving they knewjust what it takes to make a pet cat happy.Finally, there was a happy half-hourcolouring in and decorating cat face-masks – with lots of Halloween sparkleand spookiness !

Confirmed Ann Pierce, libraryassistant: “We have so many groupsand activities here, it’s hard to keep up!We have the Lunar Society membersmeeting here on Mondays, Pens – awriters group – meeting twice a monthon Tuesdays – and we have somethingrather special coming up after Christmas– on Thursday 29th December. Wehave a visit from author Gina Maddison– 11.00 to 12.30. We’re just finalisingthe details, so the poster with all the infowill be available soon.”

** Erdington library is open Mon, Tuesand Fri 9 – 1 and 2 – 5, Thurs 10 – 1and 2 -6, Saturdays 9 – 1 and 2 -5.

At Christmas, the library will close onSaturday 22nd December, and openagain on the 27th, then close for NewYear and open again on the 3rd January,2019. Time for New Year resolutions – doa lot, read a lot, and learn a lot atErdington Library!
