Estate Clean-Up and Fly-Tipping Action
Bloomsbury EMB is continuing to work hard to tackle fly-tipping across our estate and keep our neighbourhood clean and tidy for residents.
We are currently carrying out an estate-wide clean-up, focusing particularly on known hot-spot areas. Our team is also working through pathways, parking areas and communal spaces to remove weeds, built-up litter and other waste.
This work will continue across the estate over the coming weeks as we aim to improve the appearance of our neighbourhood and make our shared spaces cleaner and more pleasant for everyone.
We would also like to remind residents that fly-tipping is not only unsightly but places additional pressure on the resources available to maintain the estate. We appreciate everyone's support in helping us keep Bloomsbury clean.
You can report fly tipping directly to Birmingham City Council here: https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20140/environmental_concerns_and_requests/89/report_fly-tipping

Flu Vacination
The flu vaccine can protect young children from getting seriously ill and ending up in hospital. Flu when you are pregnant can cause complications. There has been an increase in hospitalisations in recent week, so we encourage people to get their flu vaccinations at available sites ahead of the Christmas period. More information can be found on the NHS website.
