Bus stops in wrong places
Relocate bus stops and introduce traffic calming that works
Graham has been contacted by a number of residents who call for traffic calming measures to be introduced along Walsall Road, Pelsall.
Graham says "if elected I will call for the introduction of speed cameras along this stretch of road”.
Graham is most concerned about the location of Bus stops along the Lichfield Road in Pelsall such as the one near to the junction with Highcroft where there is limited space to board and get off the bus should Graham be elected he will call for a review of Bus stops along the Lichfield Road and will request that consideration is given to a bus stop serving the Moat Farm Estate.

Crime and punishment
The Conservatives have only just managed to increase police numbers in 2023 to a level that they were at in 2011. But bearing in mind the population has increased on a per capita basis we’re still worse off.
During a previous local Government election Graham called for police to prioritise on crimes against the person and property and not online crime. Due to the Conservative governments cut back on police budgets.
As a result, he was castigated by two local Conservative councilors Graham says “I am still and will continue to call for crimes against the person and property to be prioritised until this Conservative government fully funds the police service and replaces all of the 20,000 officers that were cut in 2011 but additional officers and staff to make up the shortfall in officers and staff the police service would have had. If it had been given the resources required in the intervening years.
