Residents have been asking about proposed road safety schemes on both Priory Road and Avenue Road. I can confirm that neither are progressing. However, if there is enough support, they could come in a future budget after the elections next year. I will provide further updates when I have them.

Like my residents, I rely on the number 50 bus service to run on time. However, people driving or parking dangerously on the route often causes significant delays. If you agree we need more enforcement along the route, please fill out this survey to let us know your views. www.tinyurl.com/FixThe50

Christmas lights switch-on last night - and the street felt so much better opened up to people. A space designed for walking, wheeling (that rumoured cycle path 👀), and community could make Moseley Village Green even better for the market, events and everyday village life. #Moseley #PlacesForPeople
