00:00Hello, I'm James McMirovich and I'm here at Sunrise Bakery in Smedwick. Behind me is the
00:13brand new Midlands Metropolitan Hospital which is due to open later this year. It's taken
00:18a long time to build, it's cost a lot of money and one of the concerns has been the effect
00:21it will have on the community. I've been here speaking to Earl Drummond who is the owner
00:25of Sunrise Bakery, Caribbean bread buns and cakes and you've been saying that you're actually
00:32quite happy with it being there, you think it's going to be a boost for the community.
00:35I am. You know, I think it's, you know, we've always been an industrial area, lots of jobs
00:39and stuff like that and I think, you know, we've been losing so many taxes and stuff
00:44over the years. Having something here that can bring in more employment to the area,
00:49employ local people, it's a massive boost for Smedwick.
00:54And obviously a boost for your business.
00:56Well hopefully, hopefully.
01:00That'll do nicely.
