We stand firmly against the divisive rhetoric peddled by groups like Britain First who are marching in our City on Saturday. We have refused an application to use Victoria Square using our no platform policy. Brum is a strong and diverse city, and we stand together against far-right extremism.
Birmingham Labour Group stands firmly against the divisive rhetoric propagated by far right groups. 

Birmingham is a city celebrated for its diversity and wunity, and we will not allow hate to undermine our community cohesion. 

The Council remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all residents feel safe and valued.

It's no surprise that the top two issues raised so far in my resident survey are Clean Streets and Road Safety. These two were closely followed by Feeling Safe and Lowering Crime. If you live in Moseley you can still complete the survey here. forms.gle/C9ovD4XQ22fj...

Important news about the West Moseley Traffic Reduction Scheme 🔽
I have been contacted by many local residents about the introduction of a modal filter (physical barrier) at the junction of Shutlock Lane and Moor Green Lane. As a result of those conversations, I have made robust representations to the Cabinet Member for Transport, Cllr Majid Mahmood, sharing my concerns and asking that the proposals should be suspended. We need to find ways to make our roads safer, and modal filters can be part of the solution, but not in isolation from other measures and not without community support. I can confirm that following my representations, I have heard today that the scheme will not be going ahead as planned and the consultation has also now been suspended.

I very much support this statement. 👍
Birmingham Labour - A statement from Birmingham Labour.
We are appalled by President Donald Trump's recent announcement to seize Gaza and forcibly displace its people. This is not humanitarian aid but an attempt at ethnic cleansing through forced displacement, violating international law and human rights.
We welcome the UK Government's condemnation of this plan, and its commitment to recognising a Palestinian state and bringing about lasting peace and justice to the Middle East through a two state solution. The international community must act now to prevent further conflict and humanitarian disasters.
Birmingham Labour Group stands in solidarity with the people of Gaza and for the preservation of peace and human dignity.

I'm deeply concerned by the policing of the recent national demonstration for Palestine. It's essential that there is no undermining of long-held civil rights including the right to peacefully protest. I've joined over 50 Parliamentarians in writing to the Home Secretary about this.

Still finding more flytipping across the Ward. Dumping like this is happening on a daily basis across our community, and is not only anti social but is criminal behaviour. There is really no excuse. #cleanermoseley
