Local choices - lasting change
Powering Up Castle Vale is about making sure decisions about homes, energy and the neighbourhood start with the people who live here, not with anyone else.
​

Castle Vale is the only neighbourhood in Birmingham, and one of just seven in the West Midlands, chosen to show what’s possible when a community leads the way. It’s all part of a new regional programme exploring how neighbourhoods can become better to live in, with warmer homes, more affordable bills and long-term benefits that stay local.
This isn't something being done to Castle Vale. It's being shaped with Castle Vale, by listening to residents, learning what matters most, and building a plan around that.
​
Together, we’re asking: What could Castle Vale’s energy future look like and how can it deliver real benefits for the people who live here now, and for generations to come?
