From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] LOZ
is a loosely-defined area in the West of Birmingham, England.
It is centred on Lozells Road, and is known for its multi-racial population.
It is part of the ward of LOZ and East Handsworth and lies between the districts of Handsworth and Aston.
Lozells Road was the scene of violent riots on the night of the 22 October 2005 which left two men dead and a police officer shot and wounded. The Lozells riots were started by the rumour about a girl being raped, broadcast on a pirate radio station.
