Politics
The Moseley and Kings Heath Ward Committee is part of the official structure of Birmingham City Council and exists to discuss issues which affect life within the ward, mostly (although not exclusively) related to the activity of the council. The Committee comprises the three elected Ward Councillors for the area together with the Member of Parliament for the Birmingham Selly Oak constituency, Lynne Jones of which most of the ward is part. However, meetings are well attended with all of those in attendance not only debating the issues of concern to them but voting on policy.
The Ward Committee works with The Moseley and Kings Heath Ward Advisory Board - a grouping of representatives from local groups and organisations - as a kind of executive for the full Ward Committee.
The area is served by three councillors of the Liberal Democrat party on the Birmingham City Council; Emily Cox, Ernie Hendricks and Martin Mullaney.
Moseley and Kings Heath Ward has adopted a Ward Support Officer with the current holder of the title being Muna Masood.
