Councillor Riaz teams up with police to remove abandoned cars in Fort Royal and improve parking for residents.
Riaz is a city councillor. He represents Fort Royal. Residents told him about the car problem. Riaz wants the council to remove the cars quickly.
PC Kieran Redman is helping a lot and getting cars removed. They have removed about six cars. Riaz thinks Redman deserves praise for his work.
Foundry Street had many cars parked illegally. The council and police did a raid there. About ten cars were illegally parked near the West Midlands Tavern.
People should report abandoned cars to Riaz. Riaz will then contact Redman, who will work with the owners and contact the DVLA.
Riaz wants enough parking for residents and does not want abandoned cars taking space. Car dealers should not use the area for sales because the cars lack tax or MOTs.
Abandoned cars are spread across the ward. Police were asked for a comment. Wylds Lane drivers who mount kerbs will get fines of fifty pounds.
A grandmother worried about Wylds Lane safety told the news that cars almost hit people on the pavement. Shelley Bantock felt concerned for some time now.
PC Redman knows the community is worried. People drive too fast on Wylds Lane. He did a speed check recently, and everyone followed the speed limit then.
Police stopped seven drivers on the pavement and advised them about pedestrian safety.
