By teaching children about the Wildlife and Animals that live around us, we can help them develop respect for all forms of life. Understanding that we share this planet with other living creatures can also help children develop empathy and compassion for others #wildlife #nature #children #bluesky 🦔

Interesting insights into the challenges and complexity of building the new Camp Hill Line stations, especially Moseley - a great look at what goes on behind infrastructure projects.

Inside the challenges encountered in delivering the new Camp Hill line railway

Building three new stations by a live line in urban areas has made for an interesting delivery on the Camp Hill line project.

We have a new mural in Moseley on the old HSBC site.

I am devastated to hear of the news of an attack on a Jewish community in Manchester on Yom Kippur.
My thoughts are with the local Jewish community who will now be fearful on an important day of observance in the Jewish calendar.

Huge thanks to Moseley Forum for hosting a Road Safety Open Meeting 🙏 Our Chair, Martin Price, joined Mat MacDonald, Sarah Chaundler (City of Cars) & Cllr Izzy Knowles. Great to see prospective candidates + residents debating how to make our streets safer, healthier & more liveable

This week I took a motion to council to urgently roll out Moving Traffic Enforcement cameras across the city.
I outline in my speech how the failure to consistently enforce traffic rules is causing resentment and division.

The Folk Festival will be in the park today so the icehouse won’t be open as usual -only to people who are going to the Festival. However the dovecote will be open from 1-4pm.
We’re looking forward to welcoming you there 🕊️
