I wanted to begin this week by assuring Sutton Coldfield residents that I have been in close touch with the Craig Gilford, Chief Constable of the West Midlands, and elements of local policing throughout this week to ensure that there will be none of the disgraceful events we have seen elsewhere, here in the Royal Town.
I have written to the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) urging him to accept the request from Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council to attend its next meeting, and answer questions from councillors and the public on the future of our Police Station.
The Royal Cinema opens! It was a true Hollywood moment. Today, after tireless campaigning by so many people across Sutton Coldfield, I was honoured to officially re-open our much-loved cinema – by ceremonially serving the first box of popcorn!
