Extensive roadworks in Great Barr have driven customers away piling more pressure businesses according to local traders.
Shop workers and owners in the area around the Scott Arms junction on the busy A34 said footfall had plummeted since the works began last week.
Gary Lokers, owner of local food truck Eli s Eats In The Streets, also tried the food Wednesday. He hadn’t had Indian food in a long time and said people can’t find options for it in the area.
“Scale of one to 10, like a seven,” Lokers said of the food, and the spices and flavor were excellent.
Lokers has also parked his food truck at Ryan’s Party Store before and the owner’s son Brian Zetouna said it’s a busy area for the trucks.
If they can help out other businesses in the community like the food trucks they will, it’s karma, you know, he said.
Dodge Caravan stolen while driver buys lottery ticket at store
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of a gray 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan from Ella’s Party Store in Temperance near the Ohio line while the driver was buying a lottery ticket inside Sunday night.
The driver, 39, told deputies he stopped at the store at 6517 S. Telegraph Rd. about 6:40 p.m. Sunday and was inside less than five minutes. When he came outside, the van was gone. The man’s Ohio driver license was in the vehicle. The man said the van was unlocked and he left the keys in the ignition.
