This week I am pleased to say that I have been sanctioned by the Russian government - Эндрю Джон Бауэр МИТЧЕЛ (Andrew John Bower MITCHELL) - in response to “the hostile rhetoric and far-fetched accusations coming from the mouths of British parliamentarians” – in other words, for my condemnation of Putin’s brutality in Ukraine. I intend to wear this as a badge of honour.

Local MP, Andrew Mitchell, visited Minworth Primary School and met headteacher Kelly Lickley and talked to Year 3 pupils about the environment.

Tuesday 19th April marked 100 days to go until the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games begin – including events taking place in the Royal Town.

May I firstly wish everyone a very happy Easter weekend.  The sun has begun to shine and with it the temperature is moving upward which is a very welcome tonic for us all.

Huge injection of taxpayer cash set for the Royal Town.

I would like to extend my congratulations to all the Award winners at the recent Sutton Coldfield Local Hero Award Ceremony chosen by Mayor Wood and Reverend John Routh of Holy Trinity Parish Church. 

As you can imagine, I receive a lot of correspondence on a daily basis and this week has been no exception with many constituents contacting me about the rise in the cost of living so I am sharing the response I have sent following the Spring Budget for your information.

On Friday 11th March Andrew Mitchell met with Chief Superintendent Mat Shaer to discuss the state of policing in the Town.

Our Royal Town Hall is in need of refurbishment and as President of the Trustees, I am kicking-off the fundraising for the much needed work by doing a talk on Thursday 24th March.
