City Council

It got all academic last week as I name dropped English Philosopher John Locke and compared the “Public Choice Theory” of the bureaucratic state vs the “Creative Destruction” of free market capitalism. This is the Economy and Skills Overview and Scrutiny Committee and was in context to a petition submitted to change the Smithfield development […]

Binmen continue to neglect Frankley It’s been one year since I was elected to represent you, and I’ll never forget the ITV news interview: “Do you feel the bin strike of 2017 helped your campaign” I responded “Bin strike!? Ha! The bins have always been terrible in Frankley!!” In September I stood up at city […]

I challenge the cabinet member for eduction and skills alongside the Leader of the City Council, about their non-existent marketing and communication strategy when it comes to promoting opportunities to the young and disenfranchised, especially those from deprived communities. According to recent reports, Frankley is one of the top four wards in the city for […]

Labour WALK OUT on taxi drivers over caz Labour Councillors walked out the the city’s Licensing Committee, rather than face questions from the dozens of angry taxi drivers attending to discuss their clean air zone / congestion charge, that’s due to come into force in 2020. Conservative members (who appose the CAZ) stayed to answer […]

Cllr Simon Morrall receives a round of applause in the City Council Chamber after slamming Labour’s budget! Waving a parking ticket in the Birmingham chamber, Cllr Morrall telling the Labour Council he was contributing this year!! He then lay into the Labour Council, arguing “Why is it that ordinary citizens of Birmingham know how to […]

In February Cllr Simon Morrall challenged the leader of Birmingham City Council on jobs: “We often hear figures of thousands of jobs being created though economy developments and regeneration.

Following the #Frankley Skills Show, I challenge City Council officers to ensure opportunities are being correctly signposted to young people across the city, especially those from deprived communities. I then questioned their policy over affordable housing and asked if we could expand the successful enterprise zones, like the one in Longbridge, once the business park […]

It got heated at Council last week as I challenged the Cabinet member for community safety over policing. What you can’t hear is the Labour group shouting across the chamber as I rebut their claims (hence my voice raising). The Lord Mayor had to intervene and upon finally getting to ask my supplementary I received […]

I compared ‘drug dealers to entrepreneurs’ on the Economy and Skills Overview and Scrutiny Committee this month, suggesting we teach business and GSSE Economics in schools to prevent kids falling off the end. Former leader of the Council and veteran teacher Cllr John Clancy shared his experiences teaching entrepreneurship in schools in the 1980’s with […]

Your local Labour MP Richard Burden has candidly wrote in the Birmingham Mail that he openly supports a second EU referendum, and that he would STILL vote to remain in the EU. Despite his own constituency (that’s you) voting overwhelming to leave the EU in 2016. Frankley, Longbridge and, Northfield voted by almost double to […]
