"I was delighted to welcome the Labour Party BAME bus to Walsall South. Keith Vaz who coordinates BAME activities met with members of the community to discuss Labour party policy for the BAME community. At the meeting people were able to voice their concerns about the neighbourhood. It was a very useful discussion."

"I attended the latest Open Day at Caldmore Community gardens to celebrate Vaisakhi. It is a great space which has become a delightful community garden owing to the hard work of the volunteers who were digging and planting vegetables to sell. The gardens have been supported by WHG, Caldmore Gurdwara, Sanctury Housing and Walsall MBC.

"Dalkeith Street on a Sunday afternoon was very responsive to the Labour message; along with Cllr Hussein and Cllr Nawaz we spoke to residents who were concerned about the litter and fly tipping. As a result there will be a deep clean of Dalkeith Street which will take place on Thursday 16 April. Shokt Faisal
