Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call on the Local Authority and the Archdiocese of Birmingham to consider and act upon the following:
1. Unless work to return Cotton College - St. Wilfrid's to a semblance of decency does not start immediately , the site should be compulsory purchased by the Local Authority.
2. The Local Authority should remove the buildings 'St.Thomas' and 'Faber'. The Local Authority should then sell off the buildings to whoever will put their piece of the property to immediate use.
3. A Police Station should be the first step in returning appropriate security to the site. Other uses of the building could be as Council Offices. Of course, it is possible to use the buildings as homes or offices or businesses or whatever. We believe that this will have a more positive effect on the community and the village than what currently exists.
4. The Archdiocese of Birmingham still retains a duty to the grounds as it is a Roman Catholic Cemetery. The Archdiocese also has a duty to St. Wilfrid's Church , which was built by Pugin. The Cemetery needs maintaining and the graves of former Headmasters by Wilf's also need maintenance.
5. As long as people are happy to do nothing , the whole place just lies there festering. Allowing the situation to continue should no longer be an option.
