Absolutely over the moon to see my MP supporting the need for driving crime to be treated as real crime and championing the work of @RoadPeace.
@redditchrachel I feel extremely proud and lucky to have you as my MP. Thank you so much for standing up for road crash victims. 💖
I spoke in the Chamber about toughening up sentences for driving crime. I agree with @RoadPeace that driving crime isn’t treated as real crime. I’ve been inspired by @1687lucy and I’ve been assured by the ministers that this will be in the Sentencing Bill. @RedditchTories

So disappointing to see the lack of political will now in Birmingham for safer streets.
After questions from Babiker Yahia, whose 4-year-old daughter Mayar was killed by a driver in April 2024, only one candidate (after a pause) backed 20mph limits on all residential streets.

Yesterday, we had a fantastic day working on mosaics for our Garden of Remembrance in collaboration with Birmingham Children's Trust.
News on the opening of our garden coming soon...

18 yrs ago, I was violently assaulted & raped while walking alone. Every year on the anniversary of that day, I go on a solo hike to remind myself that there is still beauty in this world & I can enjoy it. This yr, I pushed myself & did a few days of the Southwest Coast Path…
Very proud to share @RoadtoChangeCIC with everyone. Emotional but excited to have founded a new organisation alongside Emma Dugdale, Steve Maloret, Jo Mervyn and Rob Myer. We will provide peer support to those bereaved or seriously injured through a road crash.
It may be born from tragedy but it is always a pleasure to work with you @dharford79, thank you for helping to amplify our voices.
One of the #RoadSafety projects at work is the letter tree. It was a joint project with bereaved families & us, Transport For West Midlands.
This tree, carried letters of grief, anger & stories of avoidable road deaths.
Here’s just one from @1687lucy
Don’t make bad choices!
Thank you, Sarah.
I have been made aware that the important charity @RoadPeace has gone into liquidation, effective immediately. This is a huge loss as they’ve supported many of my constituents through grief and trauma. I will be seeking answers about why this 34 y/o charity has gone under.

An ＠ITVNews investigation has found people with healthy BMIs are accessing weight-loss jabs from online pharmacies by using AI to edit their pictures to make themselves look bigger.
Our reporter, Cree-Summer Haughton, submitted an altered image of herself to six different pharmacies and was sent weight-loss jabs by three of them without further checks.
11 years of missing you big brother. 💜
So much to be thankful for but so much that was stolen.
Love you always.

This is such a special read...💜 @dharford79 is so respected and knowledgeable in road safety, we were simply pleased he said he'd attend our service.
For the service to have had this impact on him is incredible...
Thank you, Dave.
Last Sunday, following an invite from @1687lucy of @RoadPeace I went along to my first remembrance event in Birmingham.
It was an emotional and moving few hours with some amazing people.
#RoadSafetyWeek @Brakecharity
So moving, I wrote about it👇🏻

Thank you for your amazing support and so excited to work together. 🙏
A very emotional, powerful and sobering reminder of the effects of losing a loved one though RTCs - thanks to @1687lucy from @RoadPeace for the invite!
#RoadSafety is everyone’s responsibility.
So very sad to hear of the passing of Baroness Newlove. When Elaine and I campaigned on second post-mortems she was an incredible advocate - getting us a meeting with the Chief Coroner and supporting us to achieve change. She was a true inspiration and so warm and encouraging.

Making our roads safer is one of my priorities in West Brom and beyond 🛣️
Last week I was privileged to host a parliamentary reception for @RoadPeace who do essential work fighting for safer roads and supporting road crash victims ❤️
Next step: road safety strategy!

Well said @Jacqui_Smith1
That is two former Redditch MPs, from two different parties, in complete agreement on this issue.
Our @RoadPeace West Midlands and West Mercia service to mark World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims will take place at @inthebullring on 16th November. Always a precious day where our RoadPeace family gather. 💜

So my new role is going well and networking is key.
Ive got a few plans in place, but I’m after a few things in particular.
Im after some engagement from haulage firms - directors or owners in the West Midlands
If you know of any, please get in touch.

Incredibly well said @SarahCoombesWB. Thank you for your support of road crash victims and championing of the need for road danger reduction. 👏
So powerful. ❤️
