It's an unworkable bloody mess, and those pushing it should be ashamed.

I have started a campaign for a new bus route that goes right through Kings Heath - from Heartlands Hospital to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Please sign and share this if you agree we need a new bus route. tinyurl.com/HospitalHopper
This week marks the first anniversary of Birmingham City Council declaring a road safety emergency. Thank you to @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org for organising this moment of reflection in memory of the 23 people who have been killed on Birmingham's roads since the declaration.

For years it was a fenced-off waste, full of flytipped rubbish and weeds. Thanks to the tireless work of Suze at @ourscenecic.bsky.social and the community, this space has been transformed into a community garden oasis. ๐

He's devoted his life to public service and his community and I'm sure will make our city proud as he represents us in the new civic year this May.
This season is sponsored by no one being able to spell anything.

(Interesting to note the councillors mostly opted for horses and the officers mostly opted for the carriage - symbolic? Probably not tbh)
Did you know the Council's Planning Committee has an annual tradition of going on the German market carousel together after the December meeting?

This morning I was on BBC Sunday Politics Midlands talking about road safety and whether 20mph speed limits would make streets safer.
This is all off the back of the road safety inquiry report, which you can read here: birmingham.cmis.uk.com/Birmingham/D...
