Words by Paulette Hamilton MP
The summer recess has given me the perfect opportunity to do what I love most, focusing my energy right here in our community. I’ve been listening to you across Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale, and South Oscott, away from the busy corridors of Westminster. It’s where I belong, listening, learning, and fighting for our community at every turn.
It was a privilege to host fantastic coffee mornings in Pype Hayes and Perry Common, where I heard directly about the issues that matter most, from the danger of speeding cars on our streets to the pressing need for better, adequate housing. I will be holding another coffee morning in Castle Vale soon, so please keep an eye out more for details.
Erdington High Street’s Summer Fun Day was simply brilliant and full of energy, with so many local groups showcasing the vital work that makes our community special. I was also privileged to host a pop-up surgery there, meeting residents face-to-face and hearing your concerns, just as I’ve always promised.
And as always, I am acting on what you’ve shared. As promised, I have scheduled a site meeting with council officers at Conker Island to urgently address the unsafe play equipment and damaged bins that residents have rightly raised.
I hope you enjoyed your summer. I certainly did, meeting so many of you has reinforced why I fight so hard. Now, it’s back to Parliament to tackle the legacy of Conservative chaos and to champion Erdington both here and in Westminster.

Paulette Hamilton so called MP is a complete waste of space. Does nothing for the vulnerable people in the Erdington Community. Has not helped anyone in Wesley Road with exempt house being converted from 3 bed to 6 bed with 6 bathrooms to house ex prisoners, drug users, mentally ill and abused women. All the residents living in fear. She could have stood up in parliament to state our case but no she turns a blind eye to our predicament with the loss of a family house in a residential road.

Why oh why do you constantly ignore my emails and why have you blocked me on X. I am your constituent. Isn’t this supposed to be your job. The late Jack Dromey was amazing.
Hi Gaynor, we have posted your message in response to this article – but just to clarify, this is the Erdington Local website and we can’t guarentee any other people/third parties will read it.
We do very much appreciate you reading and commenting though.
Thankyou for sorting local Birmingham city council issues,why not try to sort the bin workers needs out and help them get back to work? Or on a National interest acknowledged that the thounds of people matching in London were not all far right?
