Local issues in Birmingham, Yardley
We're collecting local issues in Birmingham, Yardley. Some of these have been turned into questions to put to the candidates standing at the 2010 general election in the form of a questionnaire.
Issues are no longer being turned into questions, but we still want them! A good local issue will be about a problem of local relevance, possibly suggesting how something should have been/be done.
- Acock's Green should be made a pilot project for 'Shared Space' improved street design. (source)
- a conservation area should be set up in Acock's Green. (source)
- if Tesco are allowed to build at The Yardley Swan, it will kill off other local shopping centres such as the Yardley Yew Tree. (source)
- 20mph zones should be introduced outside every Primary School in the constituency. (source)
Local questions for candidate questionnaire
These are the questions that have been made out of the local issues Demoracy Club volunteers have posted. They'll make up the 'local' section of a questionnaire that TheyWorkForYou is developing in conjunction with Demoracy Club. Below the question is the local issue it's derived from.

That's what I don't understand ... how could all the councillors approve it, when it will wreck (has already wrecked, at the Swan Centre) so many businesses? reply
