from Jane Haynes of B'ham Live

MAX CALLER

He’d spent time at the council back in 2019 as one of a panel of non-executives providing external support, so was well placed to have a view. (Incidentally, questions remain about how that formidable team of experts signed the council off as being in good health, given what has unfolded since.)

I’m in discussions now with the city council’s housing lead councillor Jayne Francis and stand with Birmingham Fair Housing Campaign, who are demanding an urgent reaction. But, as anyone with any connection to the city’s housing crisis knows too well, this family are far from alone.

I’ll be spending the next couple of weeks visiting some of the worst affected properties in the city and speaking to those with the power to do something about it. If you want to join the conversation please comment below or email me jane.haynes@reachplc.com
