Too often, it takes a tragedy for local councils to act on road safety — even if they know there’s a problem. I refuse to wait for a disaster on Church Hill. Great to speak with @samgreenwayLDR with Mike Doyle. We need action now, not after something awful happens. #Solihull

Wishing everyone in St. Alphege and Monkspath a happy Easter🙏.
Unusually this year, Orthodox and Catholic Easter are on the same day. As Christians celebrate Easter together, we are reminded of the unity and shared hope that this sacred time brings. At this time of year, I reflect on those who are unable to celebrate their faith’s most

Supporting our children's mental health and well-being is absolutely essential to helping them thrive. That's why it was great to visit @solihullsolar this week and see the amazing work they’re doing to support over 2,200 young people across our borough 💙👏 . #Solihull

Trump’s tariffs are bad news. Everyone in Solihull knows someone who works at Jaguar Land Rover — and these tariffs put their livelihoods at risk. @Keir_Starmer must get tough, strike a deal with Trump, and protect our jobs. #tariffs

Disappointed the bid to improve Hillfield Park was rejected. It would've made the play area accessible for children with disabilities—something residents clearly want. I’ll support access to St Alphege CIL funds if the application returns. Our community deserves better.

Conservative-run @SolihullCouncil is investing in Adult Social Care, improving vital services for vulnerable residents🙌. Contrast that with Labour-run #Birmingham, where bankruptcy has led to the closure of adult day centres🥀. @solboroughcons @BCCTories

This is exactly what #Solihull needs to see more of!. Credit to @SolihullPolice for taking strong action against car theft in our community.

🚌Had the opportunity to visit National Express's training facilities today—truly impressive to see the effort behind their operations and their commitment to engaging with the community. I urge everyone to make their views on our regions buses heard through the WMCA bus

🚨 We’ve secured special powers for @SolihullPolice to tackle anti-social behaviour in the town centre. Residents have been deeply concerned about the rising disruption in the area, so I’m glad we’ve taken action to curb the nuisance and protect local businesses🌳. #Solihull

This just doesn’t add up🤷♀️. If the @bhx_official monorail currently takes passengers directly to the terminal, why won’t the HS2 people mover do the same?. Total lack of consideration for users with mobility issues—and all-round inconvenience. @HS2ltd .
