The West Midlands' Cleverest Town
Our search to find the cleverest town in the West Midlands has come to an end and we rewarded the champions with a special surprise.
After an epic journey, we have finally crowned our Big Town Showdown champion town. Balsall Common can now officially call itself the cleverest town in the West Midlands.
That's all thanks to the hero of the hour, Edward (pictured above), who managed a fantastic time of 28 seconds. On the final day Edward was left on tenter hooks as Lichfield gave him, and Balsall Common, the final challenge.

But, the warm fuzzy feeling of being champion wasn't enough for us. We wanted to make sure Edward, and Balsall Common were rewarded. So we took Edward to a location in the centre of Balsall Common and handed him a red suitcase with a fantastic prize. Listen here to find out what happened:
