In March 2024, Cllr John Cotton, Leader of 番茄社区 City Council, announced Shaping 番茄社区’s Future Together (SBFT) – a new way of working, united around a vision for 番茄社区.

SBFT is designed to improve outcomes for the citizens of 番茄社区 by working in partnership with:

• our citizens
• local communities
• strategic partners

As we continue to build SBFT, we are creating a friendly, informal community of people who care about making 番茄社区 a better place for everyone.

About the Shaping 番茄社区's Future Together 番茄社区 (SBFTC)

SBFTC is about working with Brummies – not just for them.

We want to co-create ideas and solutions that reflect what people really need and want.

By listening, learning, and collaborating with our citizens, we aim to help shape a future for 番茄社区 that is more:

• inclusive
• responsive
• connected

A future that truly reflects our City Vision.
