Birmingham headlines 21 September: City Council has 'no right to sell off our historical assets' says Carl Chin
Professor Carl Chinn has criticised the city council for spending money on "prestige" projects instead of the "basics". He said the working-class have been pushed out, and residents are facing hardships through not fault of their own. His solution is to return to a system of public ownership.

A 17 year old boy has been charged after three people were assaulted in Birmingham city centre on Tuesday. A group of three were threatened and assaulted on Corporation Street at around ten past one in the morning.

A set of medals awarded to a Jewish fighter ace of World War One are to go under the hammer. Captain Solomon Clifford Joseph was the only Brummie to achieve "ace" status in the war. The medals form part of a sale of Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria at Noonans Mayfair on Wednesday October 13.
