Anger over plans for Perry Park

Available for over a year

This time last year the eyes of the world were on Perry Park in Birmingham. It's the home of the Alexander Stadium which hosted the Commonwealth games. A year on - and plans to give the area a multi-million pound make over have not been given a positive welcome. Locals say much of the park is has been fenced off since the Games and they want the whole green space returned to public use – not taken up by new sports facilities. Reporter Leona Smart has gone to meet the man who says the plan to spend millions isn't good enough.
