Sunday 26th September
A number of people have contacted me about the re-routing of the 35 bus. The 35 service will use Grove Road and Brandwood Road in both directions. Until the road works are completed which will be about 1 week. National Express have posted notices on all the bus stops, informing passengers of the route the buses are taking between the hours of 09:00 and 16:30 hours.

Labour Leader
Saturday 25th September
I have been out delivering leaflets in Kings Heath and get back just in time to hear the result of the new Labour Leader. I am delighted with the result. I think the wrong Miliband has been choosen. I think red Ed will be a disaster for the Labour Party which is good news for the Conservatives. He is trying to be all things to all people. During the campaign he was speaking to the Trade Unions. Now he is elected as Leader he seems to be focusing on middle England by talking about the squeezed middle, what a hypocrite.

Selly Oak Constituency Meeting
Thursday 23rd September
I attended the Selly Oak Constitency Meeting which discusses major issues with the area. 1 of the major items that was discussed was the change to Ward refuse teams to follow the Ward based cleaning teams. This will mean that the 1 crew will cover each ward, so it will hopefully lead to an improvement in services. Also, there is a review of the days of rubbish collection, so there could be some changes. Residents will be notified about this.

Ward Committee
Monday 21st September
As ever it has been a busy day for meetings. In the morning I attended the Fire Authority meeting. In the afternoon I was out delivering out latest newsletter on Lindsworth Road.
Then onto the Ward Advisory Board and Ward Committe. There were lots of interesting itmes raised the proposed expansion of Colmore School, highway improvements with Amey and community chest proposals. It was a shame that there were only 5 members of the public and 1 of those was the Labour Candidate for the next years local elections.

69 Bus Update
Tuesday 14th September
Following the recent public meeting at St. Bedes on the 29th of July, a meeting between National Express, Centro and Councillors took place. It was a very positive meeting and the following was decided upon:-
Re-routing the No.35 was considered not to be a viable option. However, a
new off-peak shuttle service starting at 9.30am and finishing at 3.00am
(linking the area to Kings Heath centre) was considered to be a
possibility. Any firm proposal from National Express would almost
definitely be on a three month trial basis.
We would like to thank all those residents who have lobbied with their
Councillors on this issue and we are hopeful of a successful outcome.

Road Improvments
Monday 13th September
A number of people have contacted me about getting the roads where they live resurfaced. Following the PFI Highways contract with Amey they are now responsible for this. They have a 20 year contact with the council to resurface all the roads and paths in Birmingham. Most will be done with the 1st 5 years of the contract. Today, I have contacted them about resurfacing Brandwood Road and Colmore Avenue.
