Huge thanks to Moseley Forum for hosting a Road Safety Open Meeting 🙏 Our Chair, Martin Price, joined Mat MacDonald, Sarah Chaundler (City of Cars) & Cllr Izzy Knowles. Great to see prospective candidates + residents debating how to make our streets safer, healthier & more liveable #SafeStreetsNow

I am already in contact with faith leaders to support a local interfaith forum. I have also reached out to offer support and reassurance to the head of King David School in Moseley. 😥

I am devastated to hear of the news of an attack on a Jewish community in Manchester on Yom Kippur. My thoughts are with the local Jewish community who will now be fearful on an important day of observance in the Jewish calendar.

I shall miss her wise advice, her integrity, inclusiveness and her friendship. Birmingham has lost a good person today. I send my love and deepest condolences to Kerry’s children, grandchildren, mum and siblings , friends and colleagues.

Despite being in different political parties Kerry reached out and made me welcome as a new Councillor for Moseley, for which I will always be grateful. We soon found we had more in common than divided us and any disagreement was always dealt with respectfully and with common sense….

I am devastated today to hear that my ward colleague and friend, @kerryjenkins.bsky.social has passed away. Kerry was an incredible person, kind, clever, generous, empathetic, hard working and totally committed to both her community and her family…

Good to meet Dedicated Neighbourhood Officer PC Batchelor out and about in Moseley this morning. You can now contact her or the @MoseleyHeathWMP team through the WMP website. westmidlands.police.uk/area/your-area…

Wow @izzyknowles.bsky.social The lamppost has been replaced at last. How long have we been waiting? Was it since Museleie was included in the Domesday Book? Thank you for persisting!

@bearwoodcouncil.bsky.social I hope you’re @royalbirmcons.bsky.social today to hear the amazing Bearwood Rock Collective performing their elegy for cheap paint (I think that was it) See misfitsmusic.org.uk/brc

I’m looking forward to the Misfits Music concert @royalbirmcons.bsky.social and arrived just in time for the amuse bouche

Out at school end with the junior PCSO’s at SS John & Monica School, Chantry Rd Moseley. They spoke to parents parking outside the school and issued two warning ‘tickets’ to people seen blocking drives. Afterwards, I enjoyed looking at the pupils art exhibition in the school.

Well done to Severn Trent this morning. They turned out within an hour to a blocked drain. It had overflowed in the heavy rain and flooded the nearby pub and alley with 🤢smelly water contaminated with oil and grease. The case will now be referred to @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social to investigate.

Moving service at Birmingham City Council to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 8,372 men and boys who were murdered at #Srebrenica in 1995, including testimony from a survivor, left abandoned and orphaned as a toddler. #RememberYesterdayActToday

We’re enjoying being (and seeing) busy bees at Moseley Hall dovecote garden for Moseley in Bloom Open Gardens @themoseleysociety.bsky.social

One Stop have removed two well used bike racks from outside their Billesley Lane shop to make room for a parcel locker. I got them those racks in 2020 through a West Mids Combined Authority scheme to encourage cycling and I’m gutted. 😞

Good Moseley Forum meeting tonight with PCC Simon Foster and Sgt Gallon from Moseley & Kings Heath neighbourhood team. As usual the biggest issue raised was road safety and speeding. We also heard about the new neighbourhood policing model which will see dedicated officers for each ward.
