Central Sandwell Council

A 12-year-old girl from Oldbury who was knocked down by a car on her way to school has urged the council to take action to make the road safer.

Sandwell council has two job vacancies, one for the council leader and one for chief executive after the leader unexpectedly quit.

Bin lorries in Sandwell are to be mounted with Number Plate Recognition cameras as part of a council-led crackdown on ‘nuisance’ vehicles.
