Birmingham Liberal Democrats are deeply saddened to have to report the untimely passing of Neil Eustace. Neil was Councillor for Yardley East - having spent the last 35 years as a Councillor. Neil was well-respected across the city, and was known for his deep commitment to the communities he served. Birmingham Liberal Democrats will miss him greatly, and our sincere condolences are with Neil's family, friends and all those who will miss him too.
Despite the heroic efforts of hundreds of local litter-picking volunteers across Birmingham, litter remains a huge problem in many parts of the City. The Council needs to do more to help, both by using its powers to issue fixed penalty notices to those who drop litter in our streets, and also by emptying public litter bins more frequently.
