If Birmingham is truly going to be saved and NOT more taxes, the players ALL need to be changed or the results will be the same!

We are nominating our playing field - not sure it is exactly the same scheme but aimed at stopping the sale of green spaces.
Not entirely sure how it works but the Friends of the Fields were advised to apply.

In 2018…”Birmingham's NEC Group has been sold for about £800m, just three years after the city council sold it for £307m.”

Is there any hope they will do better ?

I wonder if any councillors, or officers of the council, are directors of the entity that just sold it? Not suggesting any of them are, of course..... But 260% is a nice profit in just three years. Meanwhile the BCC goes bankrupt because it fails to comply with the Equal Pay Act 1970.... Remember it all when the next round of local elections happens (2025).

Lloyd, certainly if any are officers/directors they should declare themselves.
50 plus years is more than enough time to comply with the Equal Pay Act!
And yes I hope that the voters remember, but somehow they never do at least where I live!
