Councillor Laura McCarthy
Laura McCarthy is one of three Liberal Democrat Councillors for Elmdon ward.
Laura has earned a reputation across the borough of Solihull as a Councillor who stands up for residents and isn't afraid to fight for Elmdon.
Since she was elected as Councillor for Elmdon ward, Laura has won campaigns against the potential relocation of Bickenhill Tip to Damson Parkway, secured the installation of CCTV cameras in our local parks, and was able to have the stinging nettles cleared around Elmdon Park lake so that residents could enjoy the area again.
Laura and the Elmdon Lib Dem team work hard reporting issues such as fly tipping, broken fencing, overgrown areas, parking problems, and were able to secure forthcoming council funding to look at a solution to the Valley and Rangoon Roads issues. Elmdon Lib Dems also launched a campaign for a review of speeding across Elmdon ward.
Laura was also able to secure unanimous support across the council for her motion in support of a fully functional Police Station in Solihull Town Centre, and her motion on the price of baby formula prompted the Council to write to the Government.
After Laura and Richard launched a petition for a new community centre in Elmdon following years of meetings and formally raising the issue in council, Hatchford Brook Youth Centre became a Family Hub and access and services expanded.
