BROMSGROVE MP Bradley Thomas has echoed the calls for a full investigation into the devastating fire at the former Hunters Hill College in Blackwell.
Mr Thomas also thanked the brave firefighters and the police for responding to this serious fire.
He said: “There must be a full investigation into the cause of this blaze.
“Who or what started it? Could it have been prevented?
“We must get answers to these questions.”
He also said Birmingham City Council had questions to answer, asking why there was not 24-hour security on the site.
“Perhaps this fire wouldn’t have happened if the security had remained in place. Site security must be reviewed following this fire.”
And, on the building’s future, he said: “As this site was donated to Birmingham City Council by the Cadbury family for the benefit of the local community, it should remain so whatever happens to this site as we move forward.
“The city council must not use this as an opportunity to flog this land for housing.”
