Daily life is going back to normal, markets and shops are open, but there are crowds of cars outside the city's petrol stations as people desperately wait for fuel.

Mr Fisher, former Birmingham City FC academy, Bromsgrove Sporting and Stratford Town footballer, was stabbed in the chest and leg.Remy Gordon, 23, and Kami Carpenter, 22, were convicted and jailed for murder last year. Two women are still facing trial for assisting an offender.

After Mr Fisher died, the club's licence was suspended and later revoked.West Midlands Policeand Gary Grant, barrister for the force, said: "There are few licensing applications as sensitive as the one before you today."

Police previously said they believed the new application was linked to the previous owners and "not a completely new" operator.The force also said an appeal by Digital Arts Media Ltd against the previous decision to revoke the licence was still not resolved.

The application, submitted in the name of Kanvas Birmingham Ltd, lists Matthew Boulter as its sole director.

Paddy Whur, for the applicant, said: "If you granted this licence, there wouldn't be a more robust conditioned licence in Birmingham."At the time of the committee’s report HS2 Ltd acknowledged the payments were a “serious error”.

You might have thought a megaproject costing billions would be a political priority. However, in 2017, Brexit was dominating the agenda and if an outsider had the impression that MPs were distracted when they voted through the country’s biggest infrastructure project, they’d be right.Philip Hammond told me: “I'm sorry to disappoint you, but HS2 was not the main issue of the moment. The government was teetering on the brink, trying to deal with the daily hourly pressures of the Brexit negotiation. Long-term projects were perhaps not seen as quite as immediately urgent.”

By the time of the vote, many believed the likely costs would be much more than the officially budgeted £55.7 billion. An internal government document produced just before the HS2 scheme was finally approved by Parliament in 2017 suggested the final figure could increase to more than £80 billion.Lord Hammond told us it would be unrealistic for every bit of treasury modelling to go before parliament.
