café bars to provide outdoor seating and brighter street lighting with decorative lanterns. This plan may now be funded by Southside BID. Jewellery Quarter Golden Square In August 2010, planning permission was granted for a new £1.5 million square at the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
