We need stable council to deliver services and a Group Leaders Council would be a way forward

𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 '𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹' 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹

The Local Conservative Group at Birmingham City Council has proposed the creation of a new 'Group Leaders’ Council' to provide the stable, coordinated leadership the city urgently needs.

The forum would bring together the leaders of all recognised political groups and senior officers on a regular basis to tackle the city’s most pressing financial, governance, and service delivery challenges. It would operate regardless of which group holds the administration, offering a consistent framework for strategic decision-making over the coming years.

Councillor Robert Alden (Con, Erdington), Leader of the Conservative Group, said:

“Birmingham residents deserve leadership that puts the city first. At a time of continued financial pressure, service challenges and political fragmentation, no single group can deliver the scale of change required in isolation. We need structured cooperation and mature dialogue across the Council chamber, not more division.

This proposal creates a practical mechanism for early discussion of risks, shared understanding of the challenges, and collective focus on solutions. It is about ensuring the city’s leadership matches the scale of the problems we face.”

Vandalism and removal of turf in Town Centre has been reported.

Overnight newly laid turf has been removed and dumped in other locations. All has been reported this morning which is shame as it will suffer in the heat.

Meeting Yesterday with Gracechurch Owners.

I met with John Southall director of BPG owners of Gracechurch as part of regular catch up on issues and plans ahead.

The internal Mall is going to be refurbished starting in June and will finish by the end of the summer ,and an impression is shown below.

It great since the opening of Harvey Norman more retailers have expressed an interest in coming to our town.

8 new potential tenants have been including some national retailers, a potential bowling alley, and sushi restaurant which will add more variety to the businesses in Gracechurch centre for visitors to enjoy.
The Padel board courts on the top of the Car park are likely to be open before the end of the year which should appeal to some sports enthusiasts.

There are likely to be some improvements in the car park over the coming months as well.

I welcome the further investment from BPG and it should be good news for shoppers and residents.
