I have written to the Chief Executive of Citizens Advice to alert the CEO of the cut to the annual grant to Citizens Advice in Walsall Council’s budget proposal for 2023/2024.

“I have written to the Secretary of State for Transport (Rt Hon Mark Harper MP) to raise the issue of access to Bescot Stadium Station. My constituents, including parents with pushchairs and the Walsall FC Supporters Trust are alarmed that the only access to and from the platforms is by stairs.

“I spoke in during the Tributes to HM Queen Elizabeth in Parliament on Friday 9 September 2002. Here is my Speech: 

“My constituents are appalled that the Council Scrutiny Committee meeting to hear residents’ views about building on the Green Belt in the Black Country Plan has been postponed. I have written to Councillor John Murray, Chair of the Scrutiny Overview Committee, and the Chief Executive of Walsall Council, to ask that the Scrutiny Committee meeting on the 22 September is reinstated.

“It is unacceptable that the One Stop Shop and other frontline services remain closed. When my constituents who need support or just to pay their Council Tax arrive at the Civic Centre, all they find is a sign that says ‘Walsall Council is closed until further notice’.
