Council proposes parking restrictions near Marston Green Station

PARKING restrictions are set to be introduced to Marston Green to tackle the problem of commuter parking around the village railway station.
There have been reports of  vehicles clogging up roads nearby, either to pick-up or collect passengers or to avoid all-day parking charges.
In an effort to address the situation, Solihull Council is proposing to introduce traffic regulation orders at five locations.
It is proposed that the strictest conditions will apply on sections of Chelmsley Lane, Alcott Lane, Moorend Avenue, Elmdon Road and Land Lane. Other streets would have a ban in place during peak times.
Responding on social media, some residents were concerned about the proposals, worried that they would only move the problem elsewhere or, worse still, see locals' own vehicles hit with tickets.
Residents have until February 19 to give the council their comments. If you have any questions in the meantime, call the highways services team on 0121 704 8004.
