Zahid Shah slams Wolverhampton Homes for neglect
A resident of a block of flats in Glentworth Gardens has called on Zahid Shah for help saying that Wolverhampton Homes are failing to maintain the property properly. Zahid was shocked by what he saw. There was broken glass surrounding the main entrance and rotting rubbish at back. When the resident said she often saw rats attracted by the rubbish Zahid soon found places for them to hide including an uncovered drain in the wast bin store. He then spotted a section of a flat roof was rotten and collapsing and that the outside clothes drying was overgrown with weeds and unusable.

EU Summit - Blair threatens Free Market
Tony Blair will today reject Tory calls in the Commons to stage a referendum on the proposals agreed by EU leaders on Saturday. In his last full statement to the Commons, Mr Blair will claim Britain achieved all its aims at the summit. The Prime Minister has given ground on some aspects of the fourth of his four red lines, a foreign policy in which a foreign affairs 'high representative' will have access to the Commission's civil servants.
