Residents and businesses are STILL paying the price for a Labour-run council that canโt deliver the most basic services.
Birmingham deserves better.
On May 7th, back a Conservative council led by Bobby Alden to get Birmingham working again.
Police in Birmingham held a roads policing operation, supported by volunteer Special Constables.
In one evening on one road, they pulled over 166 vehicles and took action in a staggering 1 in 3 stops.
Imagine if Roads Policing was properly funded!
ALT Our #RPUspecials joined @BrumPolice specials on Saturday evening for a Traffic Op, seizing 7 vehicles.

Really shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Cllr Wassem Zaffar. My thoughts and prayers are with all his Family, Friends and Colleagues at this very difficult time.

Archbishop Bernard reminded us of the importance of civic life, & the need to pray & support those involved in it.
Also, very interesting to hear of the work of @thekenelmyt on this #WorldYouthSunday#YouthSunday.

Ahead of Wednesday's Budget, I have written to the Chancellor, both as a local Councillor and as the Shadow Cabinet Member for Environment & Transport, to throw my support behind the "๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ญ" campaign.

Its impact would be felt on Taxis & PHVs across the City & on those who use taxis for reasons of mobility or safety, or who need to make journerys when Public Transport isn't running.
