I attended a meeting of the Oscott Residents Groups today (these include The Oscott Residents Association, the Oscott Disability Group and the Oscott Elderly Residents Group) where they held their AGMs.
It made a refreshing change to see residents groups not hog tied by petty burocracy and just determined to get on and get things done. It proves to me that resident groups should where possible break free of the dogged rituals sometimes imposed on them by the Birmingham City Council. Residents Groups are much better when they are independent and free of Council involvements.
Khalid Mahmood MP attended this meeting answered questions ranging from the BCC Child protection events in the news recently to questions about Policing in the area.
There were also a range of Questions for the Councillors.
