@KirstendeVos We need safer roads in Birmingham. Not shared pavements, and less curbside parking. Make roads cycle friendly.

@JaneRockHouse @andy4wm What is actual reason Andy seeks control of the police? Why is that in the best interests of WMP?

In case anyone else has heard the rumour, a claim that @andy4wm is considering becoming a future MP for Solihull firmly rejected. “It’s nonsense” apparently. His sights firmly set on retaining WM mayoralty inc takeover of police and crime.

@LizClements @tomflood1 They should be subjected to a far higher rate of tax, and the drivers given an additional driving test.

#bbcpm item focusing on oversized SUVs which are wider than our parking spaces. Woman interviewee vividly illustrates power of SUV marketing targeted at parents, she thinks her large heavy vehicle protects her children. What about safety of children who are walking? @tomflood1

Pleased to see that Sandwell Council have refused planning permission for 150 homes on green-belt land on Wilderness Lane 🌳 Our Brownfield-First approach is generating scores of derelict sites for homes, so there's no need to destroy the Black Country's precious greenbelt ✋🏻

One of Cradley’s biggest eyesores, the derelict shops on Colley Gate, are to be demolished for new homes This brownfield-first approach to housebuilding is protecting our precious green belt And it’s working - as we’re bucking the trend, exceeding our housing targets ✅

@H_H_Gray That’s a great idea, introduce a tax disc for bicycles to pay for it. Oh you wanted someone else to pay for it…. I see.

From initial conversations to signing deals, one of the most important parts of being Mayor is acting as a focal point for investors 🤝🏻 Most recently I sat down with Katie Page, helping to convince her company Harvey Norman to make their first English investment in the WM 👏🏻

@andy4wm Another shopping opportunity. Another way to close down all the independent stores. Why do you think we want more of the same?

HARVEY NORMAN is coming to the West Midlands ✅ They’re a major international brand - similar to a little shop I used to run 👀 - and they’re betting on the future of the WM 🤝🏻 Fantastic that their first foray into England will be at Merry Hill - what a vote of confidence 👏🏻

@andy4wm Have that conversation with your chum Fabric*nt, and suggest that he has done nothing that merits any sort of reform.

As the boss of John Lewis for 10 years, I know how important trust is as a leader. Paula Vennells shattered that, and is right to return her CBE. But honours should be for those going above & beyond, not well-paid CEOs doing their job. Let’s use this case to change the system.
