How your councillors invested in road safety in 2022-2023

In Birmingham, every councillor has a budget of £10,000 per year to make minor improvements to road safety in their ward.

Councillors now also get £20,000 per year to spend on clean air measures through the Brum Breathes Fund. They have to add measures to their ward plan through a ward forum.

These funds will continue despite the Council's financial pressures.

We submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to find out what has been done since councillors were elected.
