Frankly Forward

Donated as much as I could to local food banks today, buying (with my own money) essential supplies and shamelessly using my council ID to wave the three-item rule at supermarkets so I can deliver to the old and vulnerable across Frankley (leaving bags at the front door of course). Credit to New Starts Frankley, […]

PLEASE READ, PRINT AND SHARE. #FrankleyForward There’s a lot of misinformation doing the rounds about Coronavirus, so I thought it was important to get you the right information. You may be aware that the national action plan for Coronavirus has moved into the ‘Delay phase’. The Delay phase is focusing efforts on flattening the peak of […]

Out in the rain today with Gary Sambrook MP and our PCC candidate Jay Singh-Sohal to explain the types of crime and anti-social behaviour residents across Frankley, Hollymoor and Great Park experience and what action needs to be taken. I also demonstrated the success stories of local run Street Watch campaigns. Jay’s knowledge of fighting crime is highly impressive […]

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 […]

Had a fantastic evening at Bournville College / South and City 2019 Annual dinner last night (It was suppose to be in December, but someone called an election, whoops). I got to catch up with principal Mike Hopkins and meet some amazing governors alongside our brilliant new MP Gary Sambrook and the Lord Mayor of […]

Today I wrote to the leader of Birmingham City Council asking for the Union Flag to be flown over our proud city council house on January 31st, to mark the implementation on the decision by the British people, to leave the European Union. This simple measure would mark Birmingham’s intent, along with the rest of […]

You know you’re talking sense when a Labour chair tries to interrupt you. Thankfully the cabinet member for Education, Skills, and Culture agreed with everything I said. We need to STOP telling young people that university is the path to the promised land (because it’s simply not true!) and start promoting more realistic (and more […]

There it is, Birmingham’s Suicide Prevention Strategy has officially been finalised, signed off, and adopted by Full Council, a year after delivering my maiden speech and motion on mental health. Thank you to everyone for supporting this landmark piece of policy. #FrankleyForward “These men are your brothers, they are your sons, they are your friends, and […]

Campaigning over Frankley for weeks during the General Election , Literally everywhere, almost everyone, is voting Conservative, proudly announcing so on the doorstep, in what was once a Labour stronghold. Labour have forgotten about this area for far too long, disrespected our wishes on Brexit and taken working class votes for granted while patronising us […]

It was a honour and a privilege to pay respect to our incredible military veterans in Frankley today, as we remember the many lives lost. Credit to the Frankley Parish Council for a moving service. We will remember them. #FrankleyForward
