Feedback from Police following our last meeting

We have 4 dedicated neighbourhood officers and a local action team of 5.This will include a new PCSO filling one of the 4 vacancies.
The police have recognised a need for a speed watch in several locations and if any residents want to join us as an active citizen to form a street watch please let me know by email to [email protected].
Patrols are going to be increased around the Town Centre and include Manor road.
Traffic officers will be monitoring the speeding around the town centre and be more vigilant.
The neighbourhood team will be looking out and taking action on anti social behaviour.
Still waiting to learn about the review on establishment figure as we have been seeking further resources.
Our concerns have been shared with the teams we now wait to see what action is taken and will be following up the received answers in future meetings.

Sale of Midland lodge Sutton Park

The sale of our Town assets by bankrupt Labour Birmingham Council continues with the news today .
I have been advised
" Unfortunately due to protracted negotiations, the Council will now proceed with the underbidder’s offer instead. This purchaser proposes to refurbish the property for residential use (as a single dwelling). Heads of Terms for the sale have now been agreed and the sale will be on a similar basis as agreed with the previous recommendation i.e:
No access to be gained via the Park itself – access only via Midland Road.
The purchaser to pay all the Council’s legal and surveyor costs.
The purchaser will covenant to the property being brought back into use within 12 months following receipt of planning consent for redevelopment.
The purchaser will covenant to erecting a suitable new boundary fence around the property within 7 days of completion, ensuring no direct access from Hartopp Gate / Blackroot Road within Sutton Park can be gained."

Lets hope this semi derelict building soon gets brought back into use a residential home such a shame Birmingham Council let it the property deteriorate through delays .
Had we been running the park I am sure this would have been maintained and retained as community use property, or by park rangers.

Further Fly tipping by Blackroot Bistro on the car park

The pile of green waste dumped seems to be growing and has been reported again today.

Anyone employing a garden firm to clear green waste which is dumped in the Park, will be liable to prosecution as well as the offending contractor. Householders need to sure they are dealing with reputable contractors who dump not dump the waste in the park.

This has got to stop

Any witnessed can be reported to

Care with being overcharged with ESB electric Charging points in Sutton Coldfield eg Duke Street. There may be similar machines elsewhere.

I have learnt today from a resident that you are charged 71p per minute after the first hour, on the machines in Duke street in the pictures.

I have escalated this to officers as I do not like to see residents being ripped off!. The resident got charged an extra £34.76 for staying over the hour by 44 minutes!
So be careful and disconnect after an hour if you want to avoid being penalised by the machines which are designed for short stay.

The work of the rangers in getting repairs done in Sutton Park is appreciated

Meeting with the Police today.

Along with Councillor Richard Parkin we met the new Inspector Hayley Thompson responsible for Sutton Coldfield and Erdington ,along with Chief Inspector Chanelle Whitney ,and Sergeant Heather Jones.

It was a planned meeting to discuss a range of concerns raised from residents including speeding, anti social behaviour, need for more neighbourhood policing ,car thefts, personal theft, shoplifting .police presence around the Town centre to mention a few issues.
Given the size of our shopping list ,and the range of information sought including progress on the fatal accident on Brassington Avenue, the Police will need to come back to us with a plan and some answers.

It was good friendly constructive first meeting with the new Chief Inspector and Inspector. Over the next few weeks we propose to share updates on plans ahead and answers were we can.

Sutton Coldfield Town Centre Christmas Market, and potential news of free parking to be approved at Town Council meeting tonight

The Business Improvement District (BID ) is having a Christmas market in the town this year from 11/14 and 18/21 December 2025.

The Strategy and Resources Committee of the town Council last week proposed a recommendation for Town council meeting today to approve a scheme which will include free parking .This will be on Birmingham Council run pay and display car parks around the Town from 13th November to 4th January 2026 on Thursdays and Fridays from 4pm, and weekends .

Both proposals should help residents enjoy a festive Christmas ,whilst at the same time bring more trade to the Town centre.

Honeyborne Road and Carlton Close Traffic Regulation Order (Yellow Lines ) update following presentation of petition earlier in the year

I have just received from officers the following information

Letters sent by post to 109 addresses.
36 responses received in total
26 residents responded in support of the restrictions
4 residents responded against the proposals
6 residents responded with queries without either supporting or objecting.
Some residents have asked for more of the road to be restricted, whilst others think there should be fewer restrictions
Some residents want restrictions to prevent people from parking in the road, some want to park on the road themselves and some want to retain the ability for their visitors and trades people to park.
The feedback suggests that it would be reasonable to propose measures that will strike a balance between the differing views.

In conclusion, I think it’s worth pursuing a scheme at this location. Officers recommendation would be to seek approval via a Full Business Case to formally advertise a scheme based on the original proposals with amendments .

So the scheme is proceeding with a full business case due to be signed off by the cabinet member with residents being advised of the final arrangements after the amendments in coming weeks.
