City Council

With the half marathon complete, I challenge the leader of Birmingham City Council to explain how the opportunities from the 2022 Commonwealth Games will reach across the whole of the city, particularly in the south west for younger people, on The Economy and Skills Overview and Scrutiny committee.

SUICIDE PREVENTION EVENT WITH CHARITIES Before my big speech in the council chamber, I prepared a two hour presentation on suicide prevention at the Council House in Birmingham. The event was co-hosted alongside Samaritans, Papyrus and CALM to a room full of senior Birmingham City Council officials and staff.

There it is! Last night Labour councillors voted to approve a congestion charge on private vehicles, which could cost the poorest motorist up £2,700 a year to travel in and out of Birmingham city centre! Despite only 11.5% of Brummies being in support of a “clean air zone” following their own consultation, they went ahead […]

In July I had to sit through a Labour motion on food banks. Rather than offer support or think of any radical solutions to the underlying causes of poverty. Labour spent hours virtue signalling and grand-standing about how nasty the Tories are. As somebody who was raised on an estate, I found the whole thing […]

Please don’t listen to the scare stories about school meals! Both Channel 4 and the Birmingham Mail have called Labour out for lying about this issue. If fact, 50,000 more children now qualify for free school meals under the new system. As someone who was raised by a single mother, on an estate, and received […]

Pictured : Simon Morrall cleaning up our streets last summer. One of the most persistent problems that residents contact me about is the rise in fly tipping, which has increased by 20% in Birmingham throughout 2016/2017 alone.

Birmingham Conservatives have announced they will axe Labour’s planned congestion charge if they take control of Birmingham City Council in the all out local election of May 2018. The Labour run City Council have confirmed they are considering plans to introduce a congestion charge across Birmingham that would cost drivers around £2,700 a year to travel […]

The Labour Run City Council have rejected one of the largest petitions in it’s history. With almost 14,000 signatures calling for a council tax rebate for missed bin collections last summer. The Labour Leader of Birmingham City Council Ian Ward conceded “it was unusual to get petitions of this size” before concluding “I don’t believe […]

A campaign to save our weekly refuse collections has been launched, backed by local campaigner Simon Morrall. This follows a recent publication of a new Waste Strategy by the Labour controlled Birmingham City Council. The report, as covered in the Birmingham Post, recommended that all of our bins should be collected fortnightly, instead of weekly from […]

National Express West Midlands, the main bus operator in Frankley and Great Park, has announced the latest stage of it’s consultation on the future of bus travel in south Birmingham; it follows an earlier survey which it undertook last July about passing bus use.The current consultation features detailed proposals about possible bus route changes and […]
