It was in shock and sadness that we met to remember the life of Harbans Singh Sarohi, not just for us but for his beloved wife Mangit; His wonderful daughters Shivender, Harvinder and Virinder, his sons in law Parmajit Balvinder and Paul and his beloved and adored grandchildren:

On Friday 30 July 2021 I organised a meeting between residents of Darlaston Road and representatives from HBD, the developers who will deliver the Phoenix 10 development scheme at the former IMI / James Bridge Copper Works between junctions 9 and 10 of the M6. The meeting was also attended by a representative from Walsall Council, who co-own this site with Homes England. 

I am saddened at the passing of Cllr Harbans Sarohi who passed away on Saturday 24 July 2021.  Harbans was a good friend and a dedicated councillor for Pleck ward. Harbans became a councillor in 2000 and throughout my time as the Member of Parliament for Walsall South, Harbans campaigned side by side. He valued women's achievements and helped to celebrate the success of local women by handing out their certificates. (below)

I signed Early Day Motion (EDM) #314 following the announcement of plans to reduce the number of staff working in the BBC Regional Political Unit based at Millbank by over a third.
