MP VAL VAZ, MEET ME!

This campaign has never been about one person or one building.

its about trying… things are getting tangled in conversations.

MP, Vaz I’ve emailed you. Maybe like others except? 

It is about trying to save a school that still has so much to offer, protecting the woodland that means so much to local people, and finding the right educational environment for both mainstream and SEN students — a place where every child can flourish and reach their full potential.

The truth is, Walsall needs TWO schools.

I have always believed that every child deserves a seat at the table within their own community, whether they are in mainstream education or have Special Educational Needs.

I treat both equally!

Don’t listen to RUMOURS or LIES!

There are times when I question whether i’m doing the right thing. But every signature reminds me that I am not alone.

Every person who signs is someone who believes these issues matter and wants their voice to be heard.

I don’t seek fame or glory. I’m one of you, that’s why you never see me at the front of protests.

I’m not a protester. I’m a talker.

I never ask for your trust, because trust is something only you can decide.

But I never left YOU.

And I never will.

Sneyd is more than an empty building. It is a community asset set within 23 acres of land, with sporting facilities and opportunities that few sites can match.

It has the potential to provide opportunities for future generations and continue serving the wider community.

I started fighting for it in 2024, and as I have always said, I will see it through until the end, whatever the outcome.

Sometimes, you have to speak up, because if you don’t, your voice may never be heard. But just because I may go quiet, doesn’t mean I’ve Quit!

That is exactly what I am trying to do.

Not just for myself.

It’s not about me. I do it for you!

And that’s no LIE!

But I don’t seek rebellion…

Just a signing.

A like.

A comment.

And to the many people who have supported this campaign, the people of Bloxwich and Walsall, thank you.

Because, as I always say:

WALSALL IS ONE.

Thank you also for reacting when the school was breached. I am doing everything I can, and seeing the building vandalised will not help.

I cannot make promises about the outcome.

What I can tell you is that conversations are taking place. Doors are beginning to open. And progress is being made slowly…

I give you my WORD that I will continue to do everything I can to make sure the voices of local people are heard.

-There are some things you won’t like.

-Some things you will like.

-And, honestly, there are some things you probably don’t even know about.

But when the time is right, win, lose or draw, I will let you know.

For now, just hold on.

That’s all I ask.

This is not a political appeal, that’s not a path I wish to take, thank you to those who messaged asking me to consider… but that is one path I don’t wish to follow.

Sort out Walsalls education, that’s all 👍

Thank you once again for your support, encouragement and trust.
