Cotteridge — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B30 sit inside the Birmingham City Council area, and motorbikes tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near Cotteridge railway station, deliveries into Pershore Road trade units, or on 1930s semis where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
