Proud to see my name amongst Brummie giants on the huge art piece ‘Re-Union Jack’. It was made by local artist Clare Elizabeth using flags taken down from Birmingham lamp posts. The festival is on again tomorrow, please go and visit, get your passport stamped and join in the fun. #alrightbab

Good to see these enforcement officers out today in Moseley Village with the PCSOs. They also went to Oxford Road. I have asked for more patrols at evenings and weekends. I later had a briefing about A435 bus lane improvements which should help deal with the parking issues outside Java Roastery.

After the plastics are removed it goes to a digester which produces energy and a pasteuriser to make the end product safe for fertiliser

Here the food waste is being unloaded. It goes through a macerator and the plastic and other contaminants are removed.

Great to meet Crafting Conversations today in Moseley Park & Pool and hear about their July programme. This group, run by volunteers, supports dozens of people every week. Today they had made community banners and their choir was performing as part of the city wide #healingartsproject

Very thankful for the mature tree canopy helping keep us cooler in Moseley Village today. 🥵😎 🌳 Huge shout out to Moseley in Bloom and local builder Maison House for fitting water butts to some of the businesses so we can water the planting under the trees.

Today is #CleanAirDay. On Tuesday I met children from 19 schools at a Clean Air & Modeshift STARS event @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social One school took data from the air monitoring equipment provided by the council to evidence their active travel to school & no idling campaigns. www.brumbreathes.co.uk

Enjoying the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup England v Sri Lanka at Edgbaston. Also enjoying the Birmingham skyline and the reminder of how green our city is. I feel very lucky to live here.

Before anyone asks, it’s not a Banksy, but a cool new mural has appeared this afternoon in Moseley. I think we should call her Little Mo.

I’m so incredibly chuffed to be working along side @rhbhm.bsky.social first ever @libdems.org.uk leader of @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social The hard work has just begun. It’s not going to be easy but together with the @brumgreens.bsky.social we intend to do our absolute best for this wonderful city.

I’m in Chicago this week meeting my new baby granddaughter. We went for a walk along the Bloomingdale Trail aka Route 606. Makes me think how wonderful a sky line trail in Digbeth would be. the606.org

Getting my hair cut before heading to the council house to be sworn in at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social. Since @lizclemo.bsky.social & @david4bkh.bsky.social are no longer here am I the only cycling Cllr left in Brum? Will @brumgreens.bsky.social have some who join me utilising the bike racks?

Moseley in Bloom pop up plant sale, at Moseley Dovecote until 4pm.

With Cllr Mills & Mason at our last Councillor advice surgery tonight before the election on 7th May. Surgeries are really important for residents to explain issues face to face & a lot of people who come aren’t online or want to see us in person. We often go over time & never turn anyone away.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I received several complaints about cars being driven dangerously across the pavement and cycle path between Salisbury Road and Park Hill using it as a short cut. Pleased to see following my report the council has now installed bollards.

Lovely afternoon litter picking with my grandson and the Hazrat Mujaddid Alf-e-Sani Trust Masjid & Education Centre. 23 bags collected from nearby roads, the Carlton Memorial garden and Balsall Heath park. The Masjid are looking to organise monthly litter picks , get in touch if you can help.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Extra bike 🚲 racks have been installed in Moseley Village next to Boo Burger, on a piece of land I had to stop the council from selling off! I think this is a much better use than the inevitable car park it would have become.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Took my grandson on a 4 min trip between Moseley Village & Kings Heath because I could!

I discovered new LED lamp posts have been put in Chantry Rd, Moseley. I asked one of the work guys who said they are told to place them 0.8 meters from the kerb side. He didn’t know the reason & could only speculate to stop them being knocked over by vehicles. Which seems a pathetic reason if true.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Pleased to see so many food waste caddies out for our first collection tomorrow in the Moseley pilot area. I’ll be asking for feedback to send to officers, so I’m hoping it goes smoothly!

Wishing all my Moseley friends and neighbours a wonderful Eid Ul Fitr. May this time of celebration bring joy, reflection, and community to you and your loved ones. Eid Mubarak 💛🧡

Good to see bikeability classes today. Roads like Park Hill, closed to through traffic, are ideal for kids to learn cycling skills. Makes me sad that yesterday BCC threw away the chance to deliver something similar in South Moseley by deferring the King’s Heath & Moseley Places for People scheme.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

The Council contractors Kier are repainting the white markings on Moor Green Lane after it was resurfaced at the end of February. I had to escalate this several times as residents were reporting numerous drivers going the wrong way along the small section of dual carriageway.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Very happy day yesterday. I feel so privileged to have had a pre visit to our Moseley Village station with campaigners who have been working for this moment for many more years than I have. Never thought we’d see it but can’t wait until the first train on 7th April!

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

In all the stuff happening over the weekend, watching these Parakeets in a mobile phone mast on Swanshurst Lane was a lovely distraction.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Good to be out with so many people today taking a stand against racism and division. Bullying tactics are not welcome here. If people have differences we talk and respect each other. We have so much more to unite us than to divide us.

Reminder - Wake Green Road between Yardley Wood Rd & Church Road is to be resurfaced. 😀 Work starts tonight at 7pm and the road will be closed between 7pm and 5am for the next week. Expect delays in peak times. You can find details of current and future road works on the One Network. one.network

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Reminder Moseley people to put out your bins tonight for collection tomorrow.

Thank you to all the businesses a& community groups who sponsored this year’s Christmas lights. (It also includes Balla Barbers). Every donation helps to keep Moseley looking bright, welcoming and colourful all year round. Please take time to thank them all when you are about in Moseley.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

Pleased to see residents have been out clearing the leaves. We are very lucky to have so many street and garden trees in Moseley but keeping the leaf fall out of drains and off pavements is a big job so it’s welcome that the community are helping out.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

German market was buzzing tonight with happy people on my way home from the council house. Looking forward to visiting next week with my grandson. We have so much to be proud of in Brum.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

We’ll ask for the leaves to be cleared. We have quite a long list of roads we are asking for leaves to be cleared! The good news is we have been advised Wake Green Road between Yardley Wood Road and Church Rd is scheduled for resurfacing in February next year.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

This morning Cllr Philip, Cllr dog Mason and I checked the drains on Wake Green Road near to Lench’s Close, where it flooded yesterday. We have taken photos and will ask for them all to be flushed out. We’ve also reported some bad pot holes near to the Warwick Court bus stop.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Very pleased the council is installing CCTV in Green Road at the ford & at the entrance to the recreation ground after numerous incidents of fly tipping, including in the river itself. Flytipping costs £1000’s to clear up & is hugely damaging to the environment. Let’s hope they catch someone.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

I attended the first meeting of Friends of Bradford St community forum tonight. It made me think this must be how some of the groups in Moseley began years ago. It’s great to see residents & businesses coming together to support and shape their area rather than leaving it to faceless corporations.

Lots of people are asking me if I’ve voted yet! So, yes I have. But I also wanted to take some time to remember my former colleague Kerry Jenkins & why this by election is taking place.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

So chuffed to hear King’s Heath Park garden nursery is to be saved from closure. This u turn is absolutely down to significant community opposition and a petition of almost £5000 signatures. Thank you to everyone who helped with this campaign, especially the Parks friend’s groups. #communitypower

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

I was there this morning and made another report on @fixmystreet.bsky.social . I’ll get a reference number and chase it again.

Izzy Knowles 🔶 @izzyknowles.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

I saw the waste containers in Pitmaston Court and outside Hamsa Mosque haven’t been emptied, so I’ll report them for collection. I also checked on some land in Sandford Rd where there is often fly tipping. Some building work has begun there so I shall check that out with planning.

Canvassing today in Church Rd & later in Moor Green Lane area for our great by election candidate Philip Mills. Noticed a keep left bollard had come away from the base & blown into the road, so I reported it on @fixmystreet.bsky.social It’s a really good app for getting small jobs like this fixed

We have a new mural in Moseley on the old HSBC site. It’s to celebrate the volunteers and community spirit of Moseley with 25 years of Moseley Farmers' Market & 20 years of Moseley in Bloom

Today at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social full council meeting councillors cross party came together to endorse the Brum United against Racism & Hate Crime campaign. Now, more than ever we need to send the message Brummies stand united. There is no place for racism, hate or division in our city

Lovely afternoon cutting the ribbon on Moor Green Allotments newly refurbished Russell Rd gate and attending the Autumn produce show. I especially enjoyed that we have updated the photo taken 70 years ago, when the gates were first opened by a group of men in suits.

Positive joint visit to meet residents in Woodnorton Drive, Moseley this morning, with the local housing officers, community safety & police teams following a shooting incident last month. Lots of issues raised but also good conversations about setting up a residents group and better communication.
