As a long-standing member of our community with over 20 years in Solihull and working in Shirley, I am deeply committed to enhancing our ward and residents’ quality of life. My dedication has been evident through successful campaigns such as fighting to prevent the closure of Solihull Police Station and preserving the Shirley Station Ticket Office.
The council had paused the Local Plan examination process, because it had not accepted the requirement of the Inspectorate to identify another 1700 units from Green Belt.
The previous Labour Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) first announced in 2018 that Solihull Police Station would close. The current Labour PCC then reconfirmed this intention following his 2021 estates review, and the station set to close sometime at or after autumn 2025.
