Brum in brief 🚗 It’s been one year since Birmingham City Council called a ‘Road Safety Emergency’ and any action to improve conditions appears to have stalled — only two out of 16 measures supposed to mitigate the city’s road issues have been enacted. Following a transport inquiry last year, a report published in December set out 16 recommendations including plans to lower speed limits and tackle dangerous parking, as well as working with the police on enforcement measures. Speaking at the time, cabinet member for transport Majid Mahmood also said the authority was “making lots of progress” to introduce a city-wide 20mph speed limit. But in a scrutiny meeting on Thursday, it transpired that the majority of the steps have not been completed, despite the deadline for all having passed. At the meeting, Cllr Mahmood said he was making progress but there was “a disconnect” where recommendations had requested joint letters to be written to the Department for Transport and cosigned by several different parties, e.g. the police and MPs. “That’s something that we can do but it’s going to be resource intensive to get everybody to agree to the wording of letters,” he said. The committee agreed to set a new date for Mahmood to report back on progress.

Birmingham dangerous driving documentary made due to 'fear' Sarah Chaundler says she still sees people using their mobile phones while behind the wheel.

Sadly I wasn’t able to go to the screening of ‘City of Cars’ but I was fortunate enough to have a sneak peek of Sarah’s excellent film. Hopefully there will be more screenings - it deserves to be seen.

Mum worried son hit by car in Birmingham 'won't get justice' Azmina claims West Midlands Police is 'ignoring her' and says the family feels abandoned due to a lack of communication.

"This is quite a big thing happening outside a school to a young child; they should take it seriously."

Outside where my teenage son works & where 1000s of kids have swimming lessons. Thoughts with victims. Still little to zero being done by our national, regional & city leaders, policy makers, street designers & legal system #VisionZero #SafeStreetsNow #RoadSafetyEmergency @for-birmingham.bsky.social
