The ‘show us the money!’ banker protest rolled into Kings Heath earlier this week. Despite huge amounts of public money being given to bail out the banks, many local small businesses are still finding it hard to get the credit they need to get through these difficult economic times. Owners and staff are worried about their futures and they have reason to be. Tuesday’s protest in Kings Heath High Street, like the others on the Stratford Road and Ladypool Road, was lively and good humoured. We received a very warm response from shoppers and local workers.
