Commissioners’ intervene to issue Urgent Challenge to any New Council Administration:-

Birmingham City Council’s Local Conservatives have welcomed the clear and direct instructions issued by the Commissioners to any incoming administration. And are urging all councillors to put residents first and work constructively to tackle the major challenges facing the city.

The Commissioners’ instruction highlights critical issues that will define the Council’s improvement journey, including the Oracle re-implementation, the dire budgetary position, proposed governance reforms, high risk and high cost regeneration projects, progress on Equal Pay, and, most pressingly, resolution of the long-running waste dispute with Unite.

The Local Conservatives group have the experience of holding the previous Labour administration to account about these issues over the last decade and a track record of putting forward solutions to resolve them.
