Any politician serious about protecting the citizens of Birmingham will support 20mph to reduce the number of crashes and their severity. Given someone is killed every fortnight on our city's streets, those opposed should set out how many Brummies they deem it acceptable to die.

We’ve got a hedgehog turd on our lawn! This is why I left London 🦔

Q What poo is this?

A This is almost certainly hedgehog poo.

Why This Points to a Hedgehog
• Shape and Color: The dropping is dark blackish-brown, cylindrical (sausage-shaped), and features a distinct tapered point at one end. * source: Mammal Society

• Texture: Look closely and you can see a crinkly, rough texture. Hedgehog scat frequently contains shiny, undigested fragments of beetle shells, caterpillar

Watch 👀 as drivers mount the pavement where a young mother pushes a baby, 20 metres from a primary school. This is normal in Birmingham. It’s the kind of behaviour which led to plans for an LTN in this area, which have now been abandoned by the Council after 6 years of development.
