Council and unions set to settle equal pay crisis 'for up to £300 million' Speculation is rife that Birmingham City Council has agreed to settle discrimination claims

Time for an immediate moratorium on the cuts.

“The final payment is expected to come 'nowhere near' the amounts predicted when the council dramatically announced it was in dire financial straits last year.”

Calling all Brum library-loving crafters!🪡

Cabinet is due to make a decision about our libraries on Jan 21st. Before then, we want to create some crafted treasures that will remind them of the solace, care & knowledge libraries offer us all. 🙏 Get in touch if you'd like to help (email in video)❤️

Had a brilliant evening with friends reflecting on how important #libraries are to all of us. I read poems written by Liz Berry and @lukekennard.bsky.social celebrating how much we love our community libraries from the amazing Brumzine: www.bbc.com/news/article... @brumloveslibraries.bsky.social
