Honoured to have been appointed Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness at Birmingham City Council.

Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing our city, and I am committed to working tirelessly to improve housing standards, tackle homelessness, and ensure residents have access to safe, secure and affordable homes.

There is much work ahead, but I look forward to working with colleagues, partners and communities across Birmingham to deliver real improvements for those who need them most.

Together, we can build a better Birmingham.

This morning, in the lovely sunshine, it was great to join the fantastic volunteers from CleanupUK Yardley B25 for a community litter pick at Oaklands Recreation Grounds.

Together we collected several bags of litter, helping to keep this much-loved open space clean, safe and welcoming for everyone who enjoys the park.

With bigger clean-up events planned at Oaklands Recreation Grounds in the coming months, we are always looking for more volunteers to get involved. Every extra pair of hands helps make a real difference.

Take pride in your open spaces. By working together, we can help keep Oaklands Recreation Grounds a place the whole community can enjoy.
A big thank you to everyone who gave up their time to support the local area. 🌳🧹♻️

Pleased to see the grass finally cut at Marlborough Park in Stechford.

Thank you to the residents who raised concerns about the lack of grass cutting and highlighted the issue. Especially with the warm weather of late, it is important children have access to safer open spaces to play rather than being out on the streets.

“Another environmental improvement delivered on Flavells Lane in Yardley West & Stechford.

Residents raised concerns regarding overgrown vegetation and rubbish build-up surrounding this large tree planter, which had become an eyesore and obstruction on the pavement.

Following action being taken, the area has now been cleared and tidied up — improving the appearance of Flavells Lane and making the footpath safer and more accessible for pedestrians.

Thank you to residents for continuing to report local issues.”

Supporting the School Streets initiative outside Blakesley Primary School on Yardley Green Road alongside dedicated staff and local residents.

Very encouraging feedback from parents who have welcomed the improvements to safety and reduced congestion during school drop-off and pick-up times.

More safety measures are planned across our schools in Yardley West and Stechford as we continue working to make journeys safer for children and families.

Thank you to the wonderful residents of Yardley West and Stechford for the warm welcome, kindness and support I have received while out campaigning across our community.

Over the past few months, I have knocked on thousands of doors and had countless conversations with residents about the issues that matter most to them and their families. Listening to your concerns, ideas and hopes for our area has reminded me why I first stood to serve our community.

It has been a true honour and privilege to represent Yardley West and Stechford over the past 8 years. I have always worked hard to stand up for local residents, support community causes and fight for the improvements our area deserves.

There is still so much more I want to achieve for our community, and I would be deeply grateful for your support once again on Polling Day.
