RUBERY residents took part in a unique creative experiment to help light up the village.
Across November 28 to December 3, six neighbourhoods, including Rubery, took part in the 'Something Good (Measure of Us)' project, which received over 7000 responses.
Residents answered questions in boxes across five Rubery locations, with answers displayed on illuminated boards outside St Chad's Church and Birmingham’s Cathedral Square.
Sharon Watkins, owner of Gracie-Mai’s Tea Room, one of the voting box hosts, said: "It has given me good insight into my area.
"For me personally this has been a bit of an eye opener so far, to the point that I now want to proceed with it and do something, to organise events within my business in order to bring people in my community together."
The project, led by Birmingham Cathedral, aimed to start conversations between strangers, celebrate common experiences and discuss differences.
