Birmingham is at a crossroads after 14 years of Labour misrule which resulted in huge council tax rises, devastation of public services and finally - bankruptcy.

Full statement

Only the Local Conservatives have the experienced leadership to start to put things right on Day One after the election and have a costed and detailed six point plan to put the city back on the right road. This plan includes fixing the roads quickly to prevent more expensive repairs later, ending the bin strike and continuing weekly collections, protecting the city’s green spaces, cleaning up the streets and dealing with badly run HMOs and balancing the budget. Only voting for the Conservatives can guarantee that we will not be landed with another desolate 4 years of Labour control.

I have had my home in the Northfield area all my life. It really is home to me. I know the people and what’s happening here. If elected I will of course stand up for Northfield and carry out a weekly ward round to keep me in touch with the people and the area in which we live. If something’s not right I will do my best to get it put right. And I will support the Conservative administration to help it set the city back on its feet.

Birmingham needs a Conservative administration to undo all the damage done by Labour and Northfield can do its part by voting for me on 7 May to ensure a Local Conservative councillor is playing his part to help get all the necessary work done as soon as possible.
