LSD Promotions have not only shown that running a market can make all the difference to Brownhills, they’ve shown that Walsall Council hadn’t a clue.
Yesterday afternoon, I decided to take a stroll into Brownhills to check out the latest incarnation of Brownhills Market.. and I wasn’t disappointed…

Brownhills favourite tat bazaar begins again today, Tuesday 4th November 2010, and will reconvene every Thursday and Saturday thereafter. We’re assured that stalls are all booked and a good time will be had by all.
The market in this incarnation is being managed and run by LSD Promotions, organisers of the popular Bescot Sunday Market, so at least we’ve got proffesssionals this time rather than the disastrous attempt by the council previously…

These really are peculiar times. Brownhills Market, originally operated by Spook Erection and closed when Walsall Council failed to reach agreement about lease renewal, is to reopen again in November under the auspices of local market operator, LSD promotions.
This wouldn’t be too remarkable were it not for the fact that after the original closure, Walsall blew local market operators LSD Promotions out with their offer to operate the once popular event, attempting to disastrously manage it themselves. Predictably, the council made a complete arse out of the operation and trading ceased early in 2010…

If you should hear the sound of running water, that’ll probably be the sound of Brownhills being sold down the river – again…
I noted with interest today that a whole slew of new documentation had appeared online under the planning application for the new Tesco store, slated to be developed in Brownhills in the next couple of years.
It’s clear from the plans that Walsall Council have not managed to extract any extra leeway from their retail partner…

I’m not sure what’s going on here yet, until I’ve done a bit more research, but according to the Express & Star, Walsall Council are currently looking for commercial tenders to run Brownhills Market for ‘a maximum’ of two years.
This will come as some surprise to regular readers considering that the council terminated the original contract to run the facility with Spook Erection 18 months ago, then realising what a bollock they’s dropped, tried to revive the bazaar under their own auspices six months later. Doomed by lack of publicity, sky high rents and poor management, it was subsequently left to wither and die. The market was finally abandoned to apathy in early 2010…

The saga of the proposed Tesco development in Brownhills rumbles on. Both Walsall Council and Tesco seem to be very keen to reassure us all that negotiations are ongoing, that everything is being ironed out and smoothed over.
Fresh from the latest round of praising the progress of the new Tesco in Walsall, the cabinet member for Regeneration, Councillor Adrian Andrew, has a message for the elderly of Brownhills: he’d like you to know that he thinks you’re all ingrates.
On the 29th July 2010 the following Walsall Council press release dropped into my inbox…
