Tyburn Ward Liberal Democrat councillor Ann Holtom has strongly welcomed the news that the coalition government is to ban the clamping of vehicles parked on private land in England and Wales. The ban is set to be introduced in the government Freedom Bill in November and could be in place early next year. The move follows a long campaign against the cowboy clampers - with a prominent role played by Trading Standards Officers in Birmingham.

Local Lib Dem Councillor and Pype Hayes resident, Ann Holtom, has won an important concession from Centro over the scrapping of the 68 bus route. Working on behalf of local residents, Cllr Holtom confronted Centro and, during some tough negotiations, got them to alter the route of the 168 bus service so that it now runs through the Pype Hayes estate. One resident said "We would have liked the 68 to remain, but understand that cut backs have had to be made. Ann has done a great job in forcing the bus company to change the 168 service."

Cllr Ann Holtom has deplored the reckless action of vandals in causing the Birmingham-Fazeley canal to flood last week. The flow of water resulted in the closure of the A38 between Castle Vale and Minworth, causing traffic chaos and disruption for residents, commuters and other travellers. Cllr Holtom condemned the action of the vandals who opened locks on the canal causing thousands of gallons of water and silt to escape and surge across the busy highway.
