City Council

In what is a truly shocking story, the Labour run administration of Birmingham City Council has refused to deny that a sex offender was allowed to transport city kids in a criminal checks scandal. In what I know will cause a lot of anxiety to parents affected, an audit report has now confirmed widespread failures […]

This year, my Suicide Prevention Strategy was brought back to City Council and formally adopted. I concluded this speech saying: “there is absolutely no point getting MEN to open up about their feelings if we live in a society that will refuse to listen to them or even acknowledge that they can be victims.” – […]

Following the Hollymoor Boiler Scandal last month, I raised the question about the Labour run Council’s procurement process on Audit Committee. I’m very grateful that the Chair has agreed to bring this topic to a future committee for scrutiny and debate. #FrankleyForward Warch Video Here: https://www.facebook.com/FrankleyForward/videos/623735615202359/

Hollymoor is a local landmark that has been drastically under utilised for years due to a broken boiler system that the Council has dragged its feet repairing. Last year I asked staff to request three separate quotations from the private sector, quoting £60,000 – £90,000. Eventually, the Labour Council came back with prices from their […]

Encouraging free enterprise is key to our recovery. In today’s digital world it should be easier than ever for anyone to start a business! Unfortunately, our victorian educational system still doesn’t teach any basic economics in our schools which I feel are as critical a life skill as English, Maths and Science. You rarely see […]

During Covid-19 we’ve relied on our digital devices and while the market has enabled 80% of UK adults to own smartphones, there are still those with no access online, making ‘digital inclusion’ a big topic for the future. Thankfully in Frankley we have NewStarts already leading the way here providing recycled IT equipment to those in need. […]

Today the Government announced a new comprehensive package to address spending pressures with a package of over £27 billion to help local authorities, businesses and communities. They will also allow Council Tax and Business Rates deficits to be repaid over 3 years, not one. 👏👏 #FrankleyForward Watch Here: https://www.facebook.com/FrankleyForward/videos/584075715835016/

As it’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, I wanted to remind everyone that my door is ALWAYS open, no matter what you are dealing with. Two years ago I was elected to City Council on the back of a heartfelt election address that talked about male suicide. That same year I read my election address out during my maiden speech […]

The Birmingham Conservative Group has welcomed the Government’s support for the City’s self-employed during the Covid crisis to matching the unprecedented level of support announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak for employees. Cllr Simon Morrall (Con, Frankley Great Park) said: “I’ve been a self-employed Web Developer and Media Consultant for five years, […]

For years I have repeatedly called for a strategy to promote job and skills to our young and disenfranchised. In January, we finally had a productive discussion about this on committee with the Labour cabinet member saying she would look into it. While I respect that COVID-19 has played a role in delaying this, I […]
