Your impact

Issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes.

We asked

For your views and experiences of road safety in your locality particularly with regards to enforcement and reporting of incidents. 

You said

212 responses were received to the survey.

We did

Thank you to all those who provided their views. Feedback and results of the survey was included in the Inquiry Report presented for Full Council on 3rd December 2024 where all of the recommendations were agreed for implementation. The tracking of progress made on the implementation will be undertaken by the Sustainability & Transport Overview & Scrutiny Committee and will begin in 6 months time (first report back in Summer 2025). Recommendations will continue to be monitored until concluded. 

We asked

We asked for comments on the proposal by the Governing Body of Baskerville School, to remove boarding provision on 1st April 2025.

You said

Three responses were received via the website from parents/carers of pupils registered at the school and all comments were in objection.

We did

The anonymised comments were shared with the Governing Body of the school and they confirmed that they would like the City Council to make a decision.

The anonymised comments were shared with the decision maker, Birmingham City Council's Cabinet Member for Children Young People and Families. On 18th September 2024 the Cabinet Member approved the Governing Body's proposal to remove the boarding provision from Baskerville School from 1st April 2025, for the following key reasons:

The residential space has not been used since September 2023. There are no pupils on roll at the school with boarding as part of their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), and there has been no demand for this boarding provision as part of pupils’ EHCP's for many years.

Some pupils on roll at the school previously used the residential space for extra-curricular activities, including staying overnight and afterschool activities. Though the school had made use of the residential space for pupils, which may have attracted parents to the school, there are no pupils at the school with boarding as part of their EHCP. The school and City Council officers recognise the disappointment that pupils and families may experience by the removal of the extra-curricular activities.
