After a busy few months which saw the Forum hosting Hustings for the elections to the Stirchley Ward we can all take time to get to know our new Councillor and assess the consequences of the changed political landscape in Birmingham.
We aim to maintain close contact with Councillor Hawwash and support him in championing Stirchley and its wonderful residents and businesses.
Bournville Police have been monitoring the speed of motorists along Hazelwell Street, after complaints from Stirchley residents. According to a tweet posted on Tuesday 6th June, a number of people have been reported for speeding offenses.
There are currently no scheduled election in Birmingham in 2023. However, from Thursday 4th May 2023 the process of voting in person will change.
Those eligible to vote will be required to show photographic ID in order to receive their ballot paper.

If you don’t have the required ID you can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate on the Electoral Commission website.
The next scheduled elections in Birmingham are the Combined Authority Mayoral Election and Police and Crime Commissioner Elections, both due to be held on Thursday 2nd May 2024.
Birmingham City Council has announced the results of voting in the 2022 local elections. Stirchley ward has re-elected Councillor Mary Locke with 1,900 votes.
