Shirley Conservative councillors and Julian Knight, Parliamentary Candidate for Solihull have reacted with fury at the decision of the Planning Inspectorate, based in Bristol, to allow the building of a fast food restaurant next to Shirley Heath Primary School.
Julian Knight, local NHS campaigner and Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Solihull, has led a mass protest at Solihull hospital over plans to close Dementia Ward 10, with dozens of demonstrators showing their support for the staff and patients.
Julian will soon be riding 130 miles to raise money for Solihull military charity Troop Aid to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
Tom Lackey, 94 years young and Shirley's very own wing walking pensioner, who has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities through his derring-do, is backing Julian’s campaign.
