00:00I'd pay a tourist tax definitely because you're going into their village or city

00:06and it should be, should it be spent on tourism or health or maintenance?

00:12Things like more green spaces, cleaning up the streets, which the council should do really,

00:18shouldn't they? And yeah just making places look, when you go to other cities in Europe and they're

00:25so clean and tidy and I find Birmingham can be quite, it's just rubbish everywhere so that would

00:31be a help firstly. The money should be spent on I say like certain areas in Birmingham that just

00:41need to be worked on. I think there's certain areas that just don't get as much work touched on

00:45and then I would say like homeless shelters, more homeless shelters because there is a lot of homeless

00:50people here that like walk around in more than any other city that I've been to so like put money

00:54there so there's like less homeless people just like wandering the streets I'd say.
