HALF MARATHON Run (13.1 miles) COMPLETE Thanks to your support, I completed the Birmingham half marathon in a time of 2:12:36 which exceeded all expectations! All funds raised compliment the donations I make from my allowance, and with the government’s announcement of a Suicide Prevention Minister in the same month, it has made everything worthwhile!

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.

I was Delighted to attend the launch of the ‘Foundation Degree in Electrical Engineering’ at Bournville College in October and see there State-of-the-art engineering laboratories. As someone who is passionate about tech and getting young people involved with industry again, this was an absolute pleasure for me. We will also be inviting the guys from […]

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.

I promised that I would introduce clean-up crews and ensure hedges were maintained periodically. Despite best efforts to tell me this couldn’t be done, either because of “wild life protection”, or how my predecessor found this job difficult, I manged to pull through. We now see most hedges in the ward are now cut or […]

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 […]

Pot holes are finally getting attention. If they haven’t already been filled, you may notice white markings around most of the pot holes across the ward. This means they are marked for filling and it’s only a matter of time before they come fill them. Hopefully soon we will all be driving on smooth road […]

The Fight Continues to Find a Solution to The Bus Chaos. For the past few months we have been in talks with Transport for West Midlands and National Express to work on a solution to the ongoing bus chaos in the area. I was consulted by National Express in June before they went public with […]

After years of empty promises to residents on the egg hill esstate, I am pleased to inform resident that the park is now finally opened to the public. We would welcome it if the Labour Council finally see sense and backed our campaign as it is shown in similar areas like Nottingham to drastically lower […]

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 […]
