Our Birmingham AIDS & HIV Memorial and Smallbrook Queensway have recently had a thorough jet wash, helping to freshen up these important spaces and keep Southside looking clean, welcoming and cared for. ✨

#Brum looking very pretty last night 😍

Understand it is highly unlikely today’s full council meeting in Birmingham will result in a new leader.

Coalition talks between Greens and Lib Dems are said to be “going well”, but there hasn’t been enough time since Labour ruled itself out of a coalition for a deal to be done.

Terrible experience at @bhx_official security -yet again. Despite spending millions on new scanners they're rejecting 80% of the bags and making people wait forever while they pull out and scan people's deodorants and shower gels. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@WestMidRailway what's going on with cross-city southbound? I'm at Five Ways, where are the trains??

[Simon G Jones @simonglynjones]

@metoffice Modelling is useless. It's currently raining across much of England and the BBC app says it's currently sunny where I am when it's pouring with rain! 😞

[Birmingham Jazz & Blues Festival @BirmJazzFest]

The 41st Birmingham Jazz & Blues Festival (18th - 27th July) will deliver an event of that the city and our audiences will be proud of, but unless we can attract the additional funding we need, we will not be able to continue beyond this year.

Planning requires that demolition of Smallbrook Ringway can only occur if there are sufficient funds to build the first tower. £29 million is insufficient they need £350 + million. Will BCC guarantee that Smallbrook does not end up as another demolition site?

@WMCycleHire one of your bikes has been abandoned in the Bromsgrove St subway for quite a while now. Subway goes under Bristol St to Great Colmore St. 👍🏼

@sainsburys This was taken today in the Navigation St Local store in Birmingham city centre. The same problem affects the Broad Street Local store also.

[Simon G Jones @simonglynjones]

@sainsburys so fed up of finding the cereals in your Local stores in Birmingham city centre in this state. There wasn't a single box of Bran Flakes that didn't look like this! And this is not a one-off, it's a regular occurrence. And I'm still expected to pay inflated prices!

Aston Business School report finds the negative impacts of #Brexit have intensified over time

Who could have predicted that?

Pleased the rail connectivity work @AndyBurnhamGM & I commissioned has come to fruition.

The decision over HS2 north was always wrong, & so I hope this case for a new rail line will be brought to life.

The private sector will be key - as they’re already proving with this work.

"There is a campaign to save this beautiful building from the 1960s...there's more to it than simply a slab of concrete. It's one of the last remaining great buildings of it's time."

Well said Kevin!
