Public transport is massively failing the squeeze on cars. The next flu pandemic could wipe out thousands of hard-working Brummies! @BrumLeader @BhamCityCouncil

The big test awaits! How, where and when to see the four marathons in the Commonwealth Games on Sat, Jul 30. Will the men's 26.2 mile record from 1974 be broken or will Brum's route be too hilly?! @birmingham_live @CityLife_Bham

Knowing the route the runners will take and when is key to watching the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games marathon on Saturday, July 30 - and there will be FOUR races

An incredible opportunity lost - as @birminghamcg22 begins, The Crown on Station St remains dark after eight years. Only the birthplace of heavy metal. @BlackSabbath

"This will also affect services on the mornings of 28 and 31." In other words, does @WestMidRailway think it is more important than @birminghamcg22 and the enormous effort so many have put into making them the best that they can be?
❗ Due to industrial action, we will be operating a reduced service on 27 July, with no trains on 30 July. This will also affect services on the mornings of 28 and 31. We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause. For more information, visit > https://t.co/XvfgGLaI5l

Perry and Lenny - it's love at first sight! The Commonwealth Games mascot, created in Bolton by Emma Lou, now 12, and Tiswas legend Lenny Henry in Birmingham. Smiles all round! @birmingham_live @CityLife_Bham Lenny on our Facebook Live by @RobsonMcC

When slowing people down speeds some up. And it's not just Russell Road. The key problem is that too many idiots in high-powered cars get away with driving too fast, too often right across the city @birmingham_live @WMPolice

There have been 30 crashes on Russell Road in Moseley in the last five years alone
