My Plan

Councillor Samantha Gethen working hard in St Alphege for local residents

  • A Strong Voice

    I am a strong voice for our area, standing up for you. If I can help in any way with individual problems you only have to pick up the phone or send me an email to get a response. I attend our Councillor Surgeries at The Core Library on the first Saturday of the month.
  • Save Solihull Police Station

    I will continue to lobby to ensure that the people of Solihull are not deprived of their Police Station. The retention of the Police Station must have operational Officers, being deployed from the station. I will campaign to ensure that Solihull has its fair share of Police Officers.
  • Education

    As the mother of two young children, education remains one of my particular passions.
  • Local Planning Issues

    I've campaigned with residents and attended the planning committee over applications at St Alphege Rectory and the 5G Mast in Hillfield. Both of these were unanimously defeated.
  • Health

    Solihull Minor injuries Unit opened in June following an 11,000 strong petition. The petition clearly demonstrated the strength of feeling in our community about the return of this important health facility, together with the six permanent operating theatres that are also planned.
