Chelmsley councillor welcomes Chester Road review

CONGESTION: Concerns have been raised about heavy queuing along
the Chester Road.

A CHELMSLEY Wood councillor has welcomed the recent announcement that Solihull Council is to review changes to the Chester Road.
In December, Other Side of Solihull revealed that the congestion along the route was leading to increasing frustration among residents.
With the HS2 construction project likely to make matters worse in the years ahead, Councillor Chris Williams (Green) welcomed the decision by the local authority’s highways department to look at possible solutions.
“Until now, council highways staff have been unwilling to look again at the changes,” he said.
“The route-wide report will be interesting and given the amount of money being spent on it, I’d hope there are some solutions.
“The next battle will be to argue for the funding!”
