City farm in Birmingham faces closure as funds run out
A farm in the heart of urban Birmingham delights youngsters but it is facing closure as funds run out.
Balsall Heath City Farm was set up by a group of residents in 1980 and offers children their first taste of a country life and interaction with animals.
As the farm has grown, so have the running costs - to £55,000 a year.
But a lack of funds mean it will close in March unless an organisation steps in to keep it going.
