@thisandtatt @TomVideoPlus @WoodinRivers There are plenty of McDonalds in the area already, it's hardly controlling
English
@TomVideoPlus @WoodinRivers How about we stop trying to control people's lives and choices?
English
This is hilarious. I can only see this happening in Stirchley, Harborne or Moseley. It's a lot of words to say "Stirchley is fancy, & McDonalds isn't fancy like what Stirchley is".
5. Their buns are not brioche or even sourdough.

I oppose the proposal for a McDonald's in Stirchley. The people of Stirchley have spoken up against this proposal, and as their representative in Government, I will amplify their voice. We do not need a McDonald's in Stirchley. #sellyoak #stirchley #childhoodobesity #healthylifestyle #oversaturation #healthyoptions #independentbusinesses #communityenterprise #localeconomy #community #localreinvestment #localenvironment

@thisandtatt @WoodinRivers It's not that simple. The thing is the impact of a McDonalds isn't limited to the walls of the unit itself. This one is a proposed drive thru in a terrible location for a drive thru. McDonalds also brings a tonne of litter and ASB. Who wants that?
English
@WoodinRivers Ridiculous. There's a time and place for everything. Many folks in Moseley were against Greggs, but rather that than yet another empty shop.
Nothing wrong with McDonalds. If you don't like it, don't go there. Simple.

Another crash on one of Birmingham's busiest high streets. One car smashed into two that were parked. Pedestrian crossing destroyed; three recovery trucks needed. What's the cost to the "bankrupt" city in ££s & perception of public safety?
English
@WoodinRivers many times for other silly decisions that is
English
@WoodinRivers As I've said many times on here: who signed this off?
English
Quite a lot of staff at work in All Saints Centre today, parking their cars in what was formerly a pleasant, quiet pedestrian square in Kings Heath.

Please sign and share this petition, calling for the long over-due Moseley and Kings Heath LTN to be delivered faster than the current programme, which is set to deliver the earliest improvements in July 2025 with other elements as late as June 2026.

@RichParkerLab I hate to say it but I'm starting to regret voting for you

Budget provides additional £100 mn for cycling and walking infrastructure in 2025-26. This is NOT the "unprecedented level of funding" that transport secretary @LouHaigh told @laura_laker was coming. Meanwhile, motorists get yet another fuel duty freeze. Climate change anyone?

🤦

I am struggling to reconcile @RichParkerLab's statements: - “This is an issue that is blighting our region which is why immediate and unwavering focus is needed,” - the role will have “real purpose and meaning” & - the role attracts a "small honorarium" instead of a salary.

@thecubebham The prioritisation of private cars as method of transport

What's something that's considered normal in #Birmingham but seen as strange anywhere else? 👀

@senoJ_asiL @mrmjprice How do you propose cutting down on cars is done instead? In cities where it's restricted by number plate the rich buy more cars. Many households here have multiple cars already, some front gardens look like car parks.
English
@BrumTransportXp @mrmjprice Why the need to “zone” the city centre in order to cut down on cars? Just cut down on cars. “Zoning” not required. Ridiculous.
English
@PlanningShit Wow what a shithole, and I'm saying that as someone living in Birmingham

It's an interesting policy proposal on banning cycling in town, if we assume the council will apply same logic to similar areas:
* Some dangerous cyclists, already breaking the law = banning cycling
So then...
* Some dangerous drivers, already breaking the law = ??? 👀
English
@senoJ_asiL @mrmjprice It's just for cars 🤷🏻♂️
English
@mrmjprice I’m not complaining about the roads, I’m complaining about the compartmentalising of my home city into “quarters” by people who think that their opinion is morally correct and people who don’t like it will just have to “get used to it “

In less than 20 years, car culture has destroyed the traditional British suburb, with enormous environmental, social, and political consequences.
English
@PabloAllelli @LizClements Interesting, how so? There are bridges over the canals and they're far less anti human than 6+ lanes of traffic with the only crossing point being a narrow bridge accessed by piss soaked stairs that looks like somewhere you could be mugged
English
When I first moved to Birmingham 25 years ago I was astonished to see what is effectively an urban motorway cutting the city centre in half. Great to see this consultation on the A38 getting underway: we need to reduce dramatically the volume of traffic.
