Mere Green is an area of Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England. It is a small commercial centre on the edge of Sutton Park. The area features a shopping area, which has a range of independent shops, along with national chain stores. Plans were outlined for a major redevelopment〔http://www.suttoncoldfieldobserver.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=185916&command=displayContent&sourceNode=201320&home=yes&more_nodeId1=185918&contentPK=16776673〕 of the Mere Green shopping area, which would involve the demolition of many of the smaller shops, and the scheme, led by Spring Urban, was approved〔http://icsuttoncoldfield.icnetwork.co.uk/news/localnews/tm_headline=green-light-for-shops-scheme%26method=full%26objectid=19602512%26siteid=52630-name_page.html〕 on 8 August 2007. The development was however delayed by the recession and stopped completely when Spring Urban's parent company, Castlemore Securities, went into administration in February 2009.〔http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/mere-green-50-million-redevelopment-180038〕 Mere Green Library and Community Centre offer classes in such subjects as yoga, art, free internet access, tennis and lawn green bowls, as well as hosting reading groups for adults and children and occasional exhibitions.〔http://www.libraryofbirmingham.com/article/meregreenlibrary/meregreenlibrary-events〕 The area made the news in 1983 when an Italian called Renato Pagliari, then co-owner of the La Gondola restaurant〔http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Obituary%3A+Popular+singer+on+cabaret+circuit.-a060465962〕 in Mere Green, scored a No 1 hit single in the UK as one half of the singing duo 'Renée and Renato' with the song 'Save Your Love'. ==Public Transport== Bus is the main public transport into and out of Mere Green with all routes traversing across Mere Green.
