LAST night's Big Debate did not end with a solution to the row surrounding the opening of a probation centre in Kitts Green, but it did provide a chance for listening.
Residents were able to tell police, politicians and probation service officials of the very real fears that have led to their fierce opposition to a centre that is close to schools and homes and which deals with dangerous offenders.
The panel was given the opportunity to explain a little more about the work that goes on there and the policing of the area.
And amid all this came news that Justice Minister Jack Straw will investigate the opening of the centre.
Few hold much hope that he will order the £2 million centre's closure, but his review is likely to ensure that local opinion is taken into account when such decisions are made in the future.
Today the families of Kitts Green can at least be sure that their views are being heard.
It is now up to politicians and officials to ensure that their fears are properly addressed.
