Investigation continues into Chelmund's Cross concerns

ROAD chiefs have confirmed that they are looking at concerns raised by residents about "hostile" parking restrictions at Chelmund's Cross.
There has been mounting frustration about the number of people being fined during visits to the recently completed village centre.
Organisations, including the Three Trees Centre, have warned that the situation is making motorists wary about parking in the vicinity and could ultimately mean that visitors don't return.
Following the submission of a petition back in April, which was signed by well over 400 locals, Solihull Council pledged to look at the issues that had been raised.
The urgent appeal from

the community asked the local authority to create more parking spaces at the site, review the restrictions currently in place and restore the bus service.
At his decision-making session on Thursday of this week, Cllr Ted Richards, the cabinet member for transport and highways, was told that his highways team had now met with Heather Turner-Croft - who had spoken on behalf of worried residents at the recent Full Council meeting.
Following these initial discussions, the local authority has confirmed it will continue with an investigation and, where necessary, talk with other agencies - including Transport for West Midlands, who oversee bus routes.
A report will be presented to Cllr Richards at the next meeting on July 26. This will confirm whether the residents' requests will be acted upon.
