You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Longbridge''' is an area in the south-west of [[Birmingham]], [[England]], located near the border with [[Worcestershire]], historically being within it.

== Public transport ==
Longbridge is described as a hub for public transport with a number of bus services run by Kev's Coaches and National Express West Midlands passing through it with destinations including Birmingham City Centre, [[West Bromwich]] and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in [[Edgbaston]]. West Midlands Railway serves [[Longbridge railway station]] on the Cross City Line, with destinations at [[Redditch]] or [[Bromsgrove]] and [[Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield|Four Oaks]] or [[Lichfield]] with connections to Hereford and Nottingham at University station or nationwide at [[Birmingham New Street station]]. In 2020 a large multi-storey carpark was built near Longbridge station as a park and ride facility to reduce car journeys into the city centre. Some improvements to Longbridge station were also carried out in 2020 though one side of the station remains without a lift facility.

== Situation ==

Longbridge is surrounded by [[Frankley]], [[Frankley Beeches]], [[Rubery]], [[Rednal]], [[Bromsgrove]], [[Northfield, Birmingham|Northfield]], [[West Heath, West Midlands|West Heath]] and [[Kings Norton]]. Longbridge is in close proximity to and can be viewed from the [[Lickey Hills]].

== Longbridge plant ==
((main|Longbridge plant))

Since 1906, the area has been dominated by the [[Longbridge plant]], which produced [[Austin Motor Company|Austin]], [[Nash Metropolitan]], [[Morris Motors|Morris]], [[British Leyland Motor Corporation|British Leyland]], and most recently [[MG Rover Group|MG Rover]] cars. The factory became dormant, and some parts of the older sections of the site were demolished after MG Rover fell into administration in April 2005. The plant was one of the main employers of the local population and the resultant layoffs caused local decline. The company, renamed [[MG Motor]] (owned by MG Rover's would-be partner [[Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation]]) resumed limited [[MG F#TF|MG TF]] sports car production within a small portion of the factory in August 2008 and in late 2010 started final assembly of the [[MG 6|MG6]]. Production ceased completely in 2017, when the Chinese car maker decided to ship the fully assembled cars to the UK. The remaining disused sections of the factory were demolished on 4 August 2006.

=== Regeneration ===

25,410 people live in Longbridge.

[[Gary Sambrook]] of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] is the Member of Parliament (MP) for [[Birmingham Northfield (UK Parliament constituency)|Birmingham Northfield]], representing the seat since the [[United Kingdom general election, 2019|December 2019 general election]].

As part of the Ward of Longbridge And West Heath, Longbridge is represented as of the [[2022 Birmingham City Council election|2022 Birmingham City Council Election]] on [[Birmingham City Council]] by Debbie Clancy and Ron Storer who are both of the Conservative Party.

== Population ==
