Sparkbrook road shut and bomb squad on scene as suspected hand grenade found in house

Quote

Police have sealed off a busy Sparkbrook street after a suspected hand grenade was found inside a house.

The device was discovered this evening, September 9, in a property on Swallow Close - sparking the closure of the small residential cul-de-sac and nearby Stoney Lane.

Pictures and footage from the scene show a cordon in place on Stoney Lane, near the junction with Highgate Road.

Its amazing how these 'suspected live grenades' can be found just like that. I suppose it makes a change from them being fished out of a canal after so many years.

wouldn't that mean each house would have to a have a drive and the offices some parking spaces?

 

All new homes have to have offroad parking now and any new office/industrial buildings the same,I believe its written into planning law as part of agnda 2030 and 'sustainability' at least for the UK anyway

Large sections of the M25 have been brought to a grinding halt due to climate change protests.

Police have been called to reports of demonstrations blocking slip roads on the motorway this morning near the Dartford Crossing.

Out of reactions mate, cheers for the heads up.

 

Never heard of Insulate Britain before. Seems like there's an abundance of quack groups these days. lol

Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

I swam with dolphins in Cuba in a large natural mangrove lagoon .... such a happy memory, except they were captive and not wild.

Dolphins slaughtered in record numbers on Faroe Islands, conservationists say

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says a record number of dolphins have been culled during the Faroe Islands' traditional Grindadrap hunt. The killing of 1,428 dolphins is the largest single hunt of cetaceans ever, it said.
