I’ve now spoken directly with our local councillor, Cllr Morriam Jan, who has confirmed that the proposed HMO would be used to house ex-convicts and drug users. Ex convicts could include individuals with serious criminal backgrounds, such as drug dealers, paedophiles and rapists.. are we really willing to take that risk? 

Our councillor will be presenting our case at the council meeting tomorrow at 2pm. To strengthen our position, she has asked that as many local residents as possible email her with their concerns before the meeting.

📧 Please email morriam.jan@birmingham.gov.uk today with your views about how this HMO would negatively impact our community. Every email counts and will give her more evidence to present on our behalf.

Thank you to everyone who has already signed and shared this petition. Your voices are making a real difference—let’s keep the momentum going before tomorrow’s meeting. The next one is in November so if you can’t do it by tomorrow 2pm then please send one anyways after. 

Here’s a “quick send” email you can copy, paste, and send in under a minute to assist if needed:

Subject: Objection to Proposed HMO

Dear Cllr Jan,

I strongly object to the proposed HMO in our area. Housing ex-convicts and drug users here would put children, families, and vulnerable residents at risk. It would also negatively affect the safety and character of our community.

Please ensure our concerns are heard at tomorrow’s council meeting.

Kind regards,

[Your Name]
