This was after the realisation that within Birmingham's politics, our campaign would not go as far as needed to move things forward in favour of public interest.<br />I've now been campaigning for a good part of 4 years. BCC is increasingly losing the ability to sweep things under the carpet. <br />The community is awakening.<br />Quite a lot has been achieved through the campaign since the death of my daughter Hope.<br /><br /> Cllrs who've grabbed political positions without serving the community are swift to claim my work as 'their own' achievements. When the truth is that those same people failed to even raise simple road signs near 'school zones' as a warning to drivers, particularly HGV drivers who should not have unlimited, unrestricted access in and out of our roads near schools.<br /><br />Let us have another good look into our community. Most politicians we are dealing with are sadly serving themselves rather than the Community.<br />Please take a few minutes to follow through these consultations.<br /><br />Don't leave your Children's well-being in the hands of local politicians. <br />The price you may have to pay is unbearable.<br /><br />#LiveinHope @liveinhope13 www.liveinHope.net <br /><br />FB LiveinHope-Road safety Campaign.Nazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469316884116890333noreply@blogger.com
