💙 Working to improve SEND services in Solihull

In July, Solihull’s SEND Local Area Partnership was inspected, and the report has now been published.

The report recognises areas where Solihull is doing well, but it also identifies areas where the local area partnership needs to improve.

We know how important it is that children and young people with SEND, and their families, receive the right support at the right time.

Solihull Conservative Councillors are determined to ensure the local area partnerships keeps listening to families, build on what is working and drive forward the improvements that are needed.

There is more to do, and we are committed to ensuring the partnership does it.

Our priority is clear: better outcomes and opportunities for every child and young person with SEND in Solihull. 💙

LISTENING TO RESIDENTS ACROSS SOLIHULL

It’s been great to be out and about talking to residents across Solihull, at Councillor Surgeries in Silhill and St Alphege with Hillfield & Monkspath, and out on the doorstep in Olton and Elmdon.

For us, talking to residents isn’t just something we do at election time. Listening to local people, understanding what matters to you and taking action on the issues you raise is at the heart of what we do.

Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat, raised an issue or shared their views.

💙 Listening. Working hard. Delivering for Solihull.

🚗⚡ BUILT IN SOLIHULL. POWERING THE FUTURE.

Great to see JLR unveiling its first fully electric vehicle, and it will be built right here in Solihull.

This investment has already seen 9,000 workers in Solihull upskilled, helping equip our local workforce for the next generation of automotive manufacturing.

It’s a real vote of confidence in Solihull, our workforce and the wider Midlands economy, supporting skilled jobs and keeping our borough at the heart of British manufacturing.

👏 Fantastic news for Solihull and the Midlands.

🚨 ANOTHER REFORM COUNCILLOR WALKS AWAY

Another Reform councillor in Solihull has resigned from Reform Solihull and will now sit as an Independent.

That’s two Reform councillors who have resigned from the group in just two months.

It raises serious questions about Solihull Reform and its leadership.

Something clearly isn’t working in Reform in Solihull.

🚫 CRACKING DOWN ON ILLEGAL TO***CO & VAPES

Great to see Solihull Council secure a closure order against Boss Mart 2 on Warwick Road, Olton, following the sale of illegal to***co and vapes.

This comes after continued illegal activity and a previous closure order in 2024.

Back in April, Solihull Conservatives took action, bringing a motion to Council calling for stronger enforcement powers, including the ability to stop problem shops simply reopening under a new name.

Our Regulatory Services Team are doing a great job, but they need the right powers to tackle persistent rogue traders.

We’ll keep pressing the Government to give councils the powers they need to shut these businesses down and keep them shut.

After such a dry summer, there is likely to be some flash flooding with the rain as the ground is too hard to absorb the water.
If you see any blocked drains or any areas of flooding, you can report blocked gullies etc here: https://www.solihull.gov.uk/roads-pavements-and-streetcare/flooding/report-gully-problem

If the problem with the gully is an emergency please call 0121 704 8004.

Solihull Council is responsible for approximately 36,000 road gullies across our highway network.
