WEST MIDLANDS County Council's rapid transit proposals for Birmingham are slowly gathering momentum, with negotiations already in hand for the acquisition of blighted property on the route.
Three home owners have already approached the council as they claim they cannot sell their property on the pro jected 10km route between Five Ways, Egbaston and Hodge Hill, If the .i:121m scheme is ever built, hundreds of properties will have to be demolished, and this has prompted protests from groups along the route.
But city centre traders in Birmingham appear likely to back the project.
