A quick final note to say that after more than 3 years as an LDR and 15 (on and off) as a reporter this is my last day covering Solihull.

I'll keep this account up for reference but it won't be updated going forward. You can follow me @DavidIrwin1987 - although I hope to spend more time away from a screen in future.
