Sara Armstrong commented: "We want to thank everyone who has supported us through engagement, voting and volunteering. We remain committed to our community…… this is only the beginning."
Sara Armstrong writes: "Paul, Louise and I have been out and about across the whole neighbourhood, a lot more recently. We are noticing the poor state of the road signs, particularly in Springbourne. Deteriorating street furniture can make an area seem neglected and run down. It would be really nice to spruce our street signage up, just like we've seen in other parts of the ward. Tidy, cared for streets contribute to helping people feel safer too. If your street sign is looking a bit sad and needs some love - please send us a pic and we can add it to our list for after the election." 23rd April 2023
