@ReissOmari 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I’m buzzing

[Reiss 🦩 @ReissOmari]

Huge thanks to @HarrylLeach for bringing coverage to this, and to everyone that liked, RT’d and dealt with my constant moaning here over the last year. 🤣

Although, we’re far from finished.

OMG GUYS????

ITS REALLY HAPPENING!!

Paving stones are going back down around the lamppost on Colmore Row!! These paving stones were replaced with tarmac back in Feb 2025. So glad we finally have a result 😁

Now just 2 other large patches to go.

As sweltering sunshine cooked me through the restaurant window, it dawned on me that I had picked a terrible, terrible day to attempt one of the spiciest curry Shababs has ever served any customer, ever.

@dannyoh337 Hey! I have dropped you a DM

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

After nearly two hours of chasing Villa's trophy parade around the city centre following their stunning 3-0 dismantling of Freiburg in the Europa League final, I'll admit it: I got completely swept up in the emotion of it all

@SapreenaKumari JQ? I ignored the sign and proceeded to buy the chilled food anyway. It still felt cold enough to me. But then again, I’m an idiot.

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

@dannyoh337 Hiya @dannyoh337 ! I'm a reporter for Birmingham Mail. Would you mind following me back just for a mo please, so I can message you?

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

@ViscountViktor No problem :)

Statements from National Grid and the council promising to restore Colmore Row back to its former glory "as soon as possible" after it was left 'scarred' by 'eyesore' tarmac

@TomEPCarroll 😂😂😂😂

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

Out speaking to Villa Fans at the parade. This is what it means to them!

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

@garywalmsley @BhamCityCouncil Sorry to hear that Gary! Would you be up for a wider chat about this? Has there been any indication from the council that they will help you in any way? Or is it just: you're closed, sorry

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

Anyone else in Birmingham city centre wake up to a parking fine with absolutely zero notice from @BhamCityCouncil?

Love that Aston Villa won for the city, and I get the parade’s going through the JQ, but c’mon. Cars now getting towed 😭😭 shambles

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

@anna_harding @BhamCityCouncil Done 👍

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

Response from the council!

[Harry Leach @HarrylLeach]

@shuranjeetsingh @BhamCityCouncil Amazing!
