Congratulations & good luck to the new cllrs elected for Bournville & Cotteridge ward, @nickyebrennan (Lab) & Roxanne Green (Green). It's been an honour & a joy to represent Brum's best ward for the last 8 years alongside my excellent colleague @fredgrindrod, we gave it our all.
Macaabi Tel Aviv fans should be allowed to attend their team’s match with Aston Villa - but let’s not underestimate the serious risk of disorder.
Macaabi fans should be protected before, during and after the game, but at the same time @WMPolice need to make it clear that if any travelling fans sing racist chants or attempt to carry out any racist attacks (as some Macaabi fans have a history of doing) they will be instantly arrested and prosecuted.
This is the wrong decision.
We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets.
The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation.

The Prime Minister is right. Fans should not be prevented from attending a football match in our city because of threats or violence. I told the Chief Constable over a week ago that I did not believe a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was the right action & that remains my view. 1/2
This October, we are launching our campaign to #CleartheAir Birmingham💚
We’re tackling air pollution by installing Air Quality Monitors in schools across our city which give us real time data.
That’s why we know that POLLUTION SPIKES DURING THE SCHOOL RUN 💨
Even one minute of idling creates harmful pollution.
But there’s something simple we can all do.
TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE WHEN PARKED.
This is incredibly welcome news. For far too long, our high streets have become saturated with vape shops, bookmakers, and so-called ‘barbers’ that offer little value to the local community.
These businesses often displace traditional shops, undermine the character of our local centres, and make the area feel less welcoming for families.
Empowering local communities to take back control of their high streets is a vital step toward revitalising these spaces and restoring pride in where we live👏🏽
