Food is prepared daily by volunteers at Guru Nanak Gurdwara Willenhall and then given out to local residents in need.

I was delighted that they invited me to see this great work for myself.

Walsall bulky item collections service to resume

The council’s bulky items collections service will resume for Walsall residents under revised arrangements from Thursday 14 May 2020 after it was postponed in late March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'm incredibly grateful to the British Army for giving me a tour of the very efficient, temporary test centre they have set up at Walsall College , processing approximately 400 tests per day. This is apparently one of 90 similar centres they have established across the country.

It’s National Postal Workers Day and I want to thank all postal workers who collect, sort and deliver letters, parcels and packets to 29 million addresses, 6 days a week. Particularly with all they are doing during this crisis. 
Thank you all..!

Stan Ball Centre are doing amazing work with Walsall Council, supported by whg drivers, to deliver essential supplies to people who need them most during the pandemic.

It's good to see that garden waste collection will start on a revised schedule from 11th May. I'll keep urging the Council to re-open the tips so we don't have to suffer increased fly-tipping.

If you are acutely unwell then please go to the hospital.

On Friday I spoke to Richard Beeken, the Chief Exec of Manor Hospital, and he told me that there has been a 50% reduction in people attending A&E.

The government and NHS have updated the advice on COVID19.

Planning applications have now been submitted to Walsall Council to build the brand new Willenhall train station. This is exciting news as we move a step closer to opening a station in Willenhall for the first time since 1965. 

I’m delighted that the former Caparo site will now provide local homes and jobs for the people of Walsall North.
The old steelworkers site in Birchills is set to see 252 new homes built to meet future demand.
