There is a lot of talk about devolution to super cities. Actually what we want is devolution to local communities to be given greater powers without bureaucrats getting in the way and top slicing community funds. Super B’ham City council, no thanks! Apparently discussions have already been had between political leaders on the outskirts of Birmingham; funny no mention of this in the recent political campaigning.

Again another reason why politics will kill places like Bromsgrove, good job Hagley is now totally politically independent.
