Any Questions? Local Elections Soon

7th May is local election day, you live in Balsal Heath it’ll either be Balsall Heath West (One Councillor from seven candidates) or Sparkbrook and Balsall Heath East (Two Councillors from fourteen candidates). Unless you happen to meet one of them or get a flyer through your door it can be hard to know what they look like or what they stand for, so we’ve done our best to find out what we can.

We want your questions

We’re putting together questions and will publish responses in your Heathan, so please forward by 23rd April for inclusion – we will publish all the responses from candidates we recieve by 28th April. We’ll summarise questions for candidates – if you want to ask a direct question of candidates, you’ll find links below each candidate to contact them and ask your question directly.

Our Questions so far

  • What are your views on The Balsall Heath Development Plan?
  • How will you support our Library, opening soon, to provide the best services?
  • Fly tipping and bin collection are a big problem. How are you going to address this locally?
  • How are you going to address traffic and transport problems locally? Will you campaign for a Balsall Heath Train Station?
  • How will you support the Friends’ Institute to reopen?
  • There are a whole range of housing concerns locally. Which of these will you prioritise and what will you do?

Our Candidates

We’d like to thank and congratulate all of the candidates for stepping forward to represent us in Balsall Heath. I’ve listed alphabetically by surname. If there are candidates out there with better photos or links to info, please send them to me and I’ll update – Who can I vote for is a great site to check details out too.
