As @BHAMFHC said in a letter to the planning committee, Birmingham needs social housing, not overpriced flats. That is why I call you on @martinibrooks, to oppose the application for just 4.4% of the 1,750 luxury flats to be affordable at Smallbrook Queensway. #SaveSmallbrook
Yesterday @BHAMFHC met @BrumLeader & @Harborne_Jayne to discuss Brum's housing emergency. Despite the enormous current challenges, we were reassured BCC is committed to protecting the TA Investment Strategy & the Housing Budget. We felt positively heard & are grateful. Thankyou🙏🏽
PLEASE SHARE.
We have have received countless messages of support following the disappearance, in the English Channel, of Crew Manager Iain Hughes.
Thank you.
Iain today exceeded his fundraising target. If you can, please help to take it even higher.

At last @BhamCityCouncil has DECLARED A HOUSING EMERGENCY in Brum!
This declaration says to those affected - we see you!
The next step is for us to work together, across the political divide, to hear those and affected and find solutions that will make a difference.
As someone who has supported people living in #exemptaccommodation for four years I can honestly say I have yet to see anything that directly benefits people living in often appalling conditions and without the ‘more than minimal’ support they are promised. #exemptconference
The City wide Exempt Accommodation Forum provided honest reflections and policy solutions. Including more powers for local police and local authorities, planning restrictions, funding, more oversight into Carr and increased accountability for landlords
