Small win alert... big thanks to Transport for West Midlands who have removed a disused bus stop on Rea St that served as a make shift urinal with the stench to match. Good riddance! 1/2

Loss of the entire Birmingham Friends of the Earth Warehouse in fact, not just its cafe and bookshop! We are horrified by this, and we believe the rail improvements don't need to require this. More information here - grateful for any responses defending us. birminghamfoe.org.uk/help-us-save...

While the criminal neglect by some landowners of our architectural heritage continues, it is some comfort that BCC’s responsiveness to such issues is so much better! The top right window is on the verge of falling onto the pavement…

For as long we can remember, residents and visitors have told us ‘Digbeth needs a BID’. After much hard work by a brilliant BID team, the time is here and ballots will be going out soon. To those that have a vote, we say ‘VOTE YES!’

A look at what could be when the River Rea is accessible to all, this can't happen soon enough!

It seems like the only certainties in life are death, taxes and @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social being unable/unwilling (take your pick!) to protect pedestrians from cars driving on the Moat Lane footpath

Birmingham City Council is still unable to properly address Moat Lane pavement parking. It’s only a matter of time before a pedestrian is hurt! Will anything change after the elections?

Another challenge not yet picked up in the media is that @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social is now a male dominated council. 75% of the declared seats are to male candidates. The Tories only have one female Councillor 😧 Ratio by party: Lab 9/8 Con 15/1 LD 7/5 Reform 17/5 Green 15/4 Indy 10/3

Wow! Who knew the impact of a new councillor in our ward of Bordesley and Highgate would come this fast... Phone calls from our previous councillor since we started in Aug 2022: 0 Phone calls from our new councillor, who was only elected on Friday: 1 Here's hoping for better times ahead!
