Sandwell LibDems, along with our colleagues in Perry Barr, have been campaigning to save the Perry Barr flyover and ensure that that the changes being made to the A34 for the proposed Sprint bus route reflect local opinion.
Our activists have been busy in Oldbury and Tipton, reporting public order and anti-social behaviour problems that have been annoying local residents. These include anti-social behaviour near Junction 2 of the M5, and a surge in crime in the early part of the year in Tipton. Police action has hopefully seen both reduced.
Local campaigners, and the Focus team, have raised several housing issues with Sandwell Council. Including, the secrecy over the bidding process, and general lack of transparency.
Liberal Democrats have regularly supported initiatives that encourage greener, and healthier, transport alternatives, and welcome the improvements to our canals to make them easier to use for walkers and cyclists.
Local residents in Wednesbury have asked us to report loud music being played in parts of Wednesbury North. Local activist and campaigner Ian Gomes Walker has asked Sandwell to investigate, and we have also asked the police to be aware of this problem.
Former LibDem Councillor, Mark Smith, and many other local residents petitioned the post office to save the Scott Arms Post Office from threatened closure at the end of May 2020. Community action saw them reverse that decision.
