Soho Road is getting some negative press as a small number of shops are run by organised gangs, who exploit vulnerable people and locals ๐Ÿ˜”

So I wanted to share here incase people wanted to check out a positive local landmark by loads of good food ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This is C&S Homestore on Soho Road โ€” itโ€™s family run and has been open since the 1960s ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Itโ€™s an โ€˜everything storeโ€™. But, Iโ€™ve realised that not everyone is aware of these everything stores โ€” but they basically haveโ€ฆ everything ๐Ÿ˜‚

Kitchenware, homeware, incense, fabrics, I saw shampoo as well ๐Ÿ˜„

Iโ€™m out here today with a couple of residents whoโ€™re starting a cooking class for vulnerable men in Winson Green - and weโ€™re grabbing everything from here ๐Ÿฅฐ

Check out C&S Homestore then grab a bite on Soho Road - close to bus and tram stops!

Abandoned building in Hockley used as a w**d farm ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Residents were complaining about squatters in an abandoned building on Clissold Street in Hockley ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป

The Police working with Birmingham City Council realised it was squatters who were growing w**d ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Today the building was secured and made safe by the council - and residents donโ€™t need to worry about squatters and living next to a grow house ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Me and Su are hitting the ground running as your local councillors in Soho and Jewellery Quarter - get in touch if we can help and we'll do our best!

I bumped into someone on Soho Road who had an interesting opinion about Operation Fearlessโ€ฆ ๐Ÿค”

What do you think about it - tackling drug dealing, knife crime, antisocial behaviour and more on Soho Road?

A little story about inconsiderate, dumped rubbish... ๐Ÿค”

Now, what you see is a terraced house where the front garden area is full of rubbish ๐Ÿ˜”

This is not fly tipping because the owner has done this on their own property ๐Ÿ 

However, unless there is express evidence it's causing environmental issues it's really hard to get an owner to remove this off their own property ๐Ÿค”

HOWEVER, me and Su checked with the council and this property is Supported Exempt Accommodation - so the manager of the property has higher expectations to make the property fit for habitation ๐Ÿ‘

So we managed to get the property manager to clear the front of the property - the neighbour and other residents were very happy, as were the tenants ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sometimes we need to be creative with how we try to resolve issues like this! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Some people ask me what it's like to be a councillor in Soho and Jewellery Quarter ๐Ÿค”

Yes there are lots of differences between these parts of the city but there are some similar challenges they face ๐Ÿ˜”

These bins on Vittoria Street are contaminated - they are recycling bins that have been left for months by the building management company ๐Ÿ™

They have not provided their tenants with any bin storage facilities, meaning bins are left on the street, attract fly tipping and become contaminated angry - this causes more issues on the road with vermin and more rubbish ๐Ÿ˜”

So me and Su are contacting this building management company to get rid of the contaminated bins and provide proper storage ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

We're hitting the ground running as your local councillors and we will continue doing the best for our residents in Soho and Jewellery Quarter ๐ŸŒน

As a councillor you could genuinely spend 7 days a week reporting fly tipping ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝ

All that work for it to come back again a couple of days (and sometimes hours) later ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

As they say, prevention is better than the cure... โœ๐Ÿฝ

This means we need to focus on some of the root causes of fly tipping - like unscrupulous landlords, inaccessible tips, the bin strikes, and absolutely in some cases we have people who just don't care ๐Ÿ˜”

So while I do share wins like this, the real win will be when we don't have to report fly tipping as much because it's less of an issue ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ
