🚨🇬🇧 DON’T WASTE YOUR VOTE PUT BRITAIN FIRST! 🇬🇧

Let’s be brutally honest.

A vote for Restore or the Conservatives could split the vote and hand Labour or the Greens the opportunity to walk straight through the middle just like Dover.

And once that happens, you can’t complain about the result.

The Conservatives had 14 YEARS in government.

What did we get?
❌ Broken promises
❌ Record immigration
❌ Rising taxes
❌ Failing public services
❌ Communities left behind

Now Labour are continuing to fail Britain, while the Greens want an even more open approach to immigration putting even greater pressure on housing, schools, healthcare and public services.

And Restore?
Instead of concentrating on defeating Labour and the Greens, they appear far more interested in attacking Reform UK.

Matt Goodwin has claimed Restore activists were “celebrating stopping Reform” in Dover.
If that's true, ask yourself:

👉 Who benefits when the so-called alternative spends its time stopping Reform instead of stopping Labour and the Greens?
It certainly isn't the British people.

⚠️ Don’t fall for it.
⚠️ Don’t split the vote.
⚠️ Don’t give Labour or the Greens a route back in.

The choice is simple.
🇬🇧 Britain First.
🗳️ Vote Reform UK.

Yesterday, Cllr Dr Charlie Latchford and Cllr Anthony Ward held their first ward meeting in Longbridge and West Heath.

It was a great opportunity for residents to come along, raise their concerns, share their views and help shape the priorities and direction for the ward moving forward.

Listening to residents and working together to improve our communities will always be at the heart of what we do. 🏘️🤝

✅ BARNES HILL / STONEBROOK WAY UPDATE

Good news for residents. The unauthorised encampment at Barnes Hill / Stonebrook Way has now vacated the site.

But the work doesn’t stop there.

Cllr Cherie Waddingham has confirmed that a priority clean-up has been requested, the gate has been secured with a Parks lock and longer-term measures are being developed, including reinforced barriers, heavy-duty telescopic bollards and a potential second line of defence against unauthorised access.

This is exactly what residents have been asking for. Deal with the immediate problem, clean up the aftermath and, importantly, take steps to prevent it happening again.

Well done to Cllr Waddingham for continuing to push this forward and keeping residents informed. 👏

Action today. Prevention for tomorrow.

🚨 NO TO BLANKET 20MPH LIMITS ACROSS BIRMINGHAM

We support 20mph limits where there is a genuine safety need, including around schools and other high-risk locations.

What we do not support is making 20mph the standard across Birmingham’s local roads regardless of whether individual roads actually need it.

Birmingham already struggles with congestion. We should be improving traffic flow, not introducing a one-size-fits-all approach that risks making journeys even slower.

And if vehicles end up spending longer crawling through congested roads, serious questions need to be asked about how that fits with the environmental agenda of Birmingham’s coalition administration.

Right road. Right speed. Based on evidence.

Reform Birmingham says NO.

20mph where there is a genuine safety need, e.g outside schools? Yes.

🚗 NO TO BLANKET 20MPH LIMITS

We fully support sensible 20mph limits outside schools and on roads where there is clear evidence they are needed for safety.

What we don’t support is making 20mph the standard across Birmingham’s local roads regardless of whether a 30mph limit is perfectly safe and appropriate.

Birmingham motorists already deal with enough congestion, roadworks and restrictions.

Right road. Right speed. Not one rule for everywhere.

Reform councillors will be opposing the blanket approach through Birmingham’s Local Plan process.

What do Northfield residents think? Would you support 20mph becoming the standard limit across local roads?

REFORM: NO TO BLANKET 20MPH LIMITS ACROSS BIRMINGHAM

Reform Birmingham will strongly oppose plans to make 20mph the standard speed limit across local roads in the city.

Getting around Birmingham is already difficult enough. Residents face congestion, endless roadworks, diversions, bus delays, parking restrictions and an increasingly frustrating road network. The last thing they need is another blanket restriction making everyday journeys slower and harder.

Reform’s position is clear: keep 20mph where safety genuinely demands it – outside schools at appropriate times and at other clearly identified locations where there is a real safety case.

But 20mph should be the exception, not the default.

The policy has resurfaced in Birmingham’s new Local Plan, which states:

“A limit of 20mph will be standard on all local roads.”

It also confirms that 20mph will continue to be rolled out across B roads, C roads and unclassified local roads. Reform will formally oppose that approach through the Local Plan process.

Cllr Anthony Ward, Reform’s Shadow Cabinet Member for Transport, said:

“Road safety matters, but a one-size-fits-all speed limit across Birmingham is not the answer. Where 20mph is genuinely needed, we will support it. Where 30mph is safe and appropriate, motorists should be allowed to get on with their journeys.”

Cllr Jex Parkin, Leader of Reform UK on Birmingham City Council, said:

“This is another anti-motorist policy from a council that seems determined to make getting around Birmingham harder. People already have enough congestion, restrictions and disruption to deal with without another blanket measure being imposed on them.

“Reform will support sensible safety measures where they are genuinely needed, but we will oppose unnecessary 20mph limits across the city.”

Speed limits should reflect the road, the evidence and genuine safety needs. They should not be imposed across huge parts of Birmingham because of an ideological hostility to motorists.

Concerning findings highlighted by Reform UK Birmingham following research into reports of so-called “family voting” at Birmingham’s local elections.

Whatever your politics, nobody should feel pressured, intimidated or watched when casting their vote.

The secret ballot is a fundamental part of our democracy and it must be protected.

Well done to Cllr Jex Parkin and the Reform UK Birmingham team for pursuing this and bringing the findings into the public eye.

Everyone in Birmingham should be able to walk into a polling station and vote freely, privately and without interference.

Today’s Birmingham Mail article outlines the full extent of the shocking family voting at the Birmingham local elections, following research by Reform UK Birmingham.

Cllr Jex Parkin, Leader of Reform UK Birmingham, says in the article “What concerned us was that polling staff had apparently been having to intervene to protect the secrecy of the ballot, and in some cases were facing aggression when they did so.”

“We wanted to know how widespread it actually was... the response that came back (detailing the findings from polling stations) was considerably more concerning than the original reports suggested.”

“People fought for the right to vote freely and privately. Birmingham must not allow that right to be diluted by intimidation, pressure or family control.”
