Maintaining the Centre
DDRA spend a significant amount of time working with the Council and the various landowners to keep the parts of Dorridge that we are proud of, and to encourage improvement elsewhere.
Planning Applications
DDRA follow the Solihull MBC web site to be informed of current planning applications. This section of our site discusses how we approach planning application reviews. We are very interested in local residents' opinions and welcome your support and feedback.
Tree Wardens
Dorridge and Bentley Heath are blessed with tree lined streets and verdant parks and open spaces. With this in mind, the DDRA have encouraged the formation of a local group of Tree Wardens under a scheme sponsored by Solihull Council.
Licensing
The DDRA will support local residents if they have issues with alcohol or entertainment licensing
Police
DDRA has developed a good relationship with the local police who have been innovative in developing ways of dealing with our local issues.
Roads and Transport
Road safety is an important issue, with heavy traffic passing around and through Dorridge and Bentley Heath.
Youth
DDRA is keen to provide facilities for the young of the borough. We have provided playground facilities in Bentley Heath with the help of the Council and other local organisations.
