Don't divide Northfield -

The Boundary Commission is proposing that Weoley ward should be taken out of the Northfield parliamentary constituency.

Half of Northfield town centre is in Weoley ward. Places like the Northfield Town Centre Partnership shop, Northfield Town Football Club and Allens Cross are all in Weoley ward.

The Commission’s proposal means that Northfield will be divided right down the middle of the high street.

We say:

Keep Weoley ward part of Northfield constituency

I have submitted a written response to the Commission and gave evidence at a public hearing in Birmingham last week. I told them that Weoley ward should remain part of the Northfield constituency.

Help make the Boundary Commission listen - have your say too

If we are going to get the Commission to listen it is really important that that individuals, businesses and local community groups have their say too.

You don’t need to give a detailed or technical response. Just say why you think it’s important not to divide Northfield and why Weoley should stay part of the Northfield constituency.
