It is not often that a councillor gets good press and I want to show how we in Halesowen have a wonderful councillor in Jill Nicholls.

Jill has worked for the last few years as councillor helping to get people new windows and doors, she has a passion for people.

What I love about her is she does not shout politics she sees injustice or things that are wrong and acts on them.

Recently she has set up a surgery in ASDA where anyone can meet with Jill and have a cup of tea, and talk about our worries and concerns.

I was surprised, I thought it would be same old same old. However Jill Nicholls acted on my concerns and has had a rail put up outside my block, (I am in my 80s so my vision is not very good and I am unsteady on my feet). This has really helped me and my neighbours who now can leave their house in bad weather where before many would fall.

Jill listens, she cares and she has done so much more for us so I want to take the time to thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Also Jill Barbara Grosvenor wants to thank you for all your support after her husband had died, you really care.

Also all the others that you have served in the block where I live want to say we are proud to say we have a councillor who serves to improve the area not her status.

Thank you Jill Nicholls.
