Bosworth knighted

Thirty-seven years’ service on Birmingham City Council brought their reward in the form of a knighthood for Sutton Coldfield solicitor Neville Bosworth in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

Coun Bousworth, aged 69, won national acclaim by cutting the city’s rate twice in two years and was a leading figure in the campaign to win the National Exhibition Centre.

For 15 years he was leader of the council’s Conservatives, stepping down last month to make way for a younger man.

He will continue to serve as a councillor for Edgbaston.
