Balsall common bypass needs to move much further out and not cross Hob lane as that will be dangerous. It needs to be integrated into the existing network and improve and develop as the impact of house building, hs2 and a46 improvements become apparent!

The proposed Balsall common bypass is ill conceived and goes against the national strategy of reducing car use. It has been ‘plucked’ out of the air to support the proposed new house building without thinking strategically what Balsall common/Berkswell will need after other road and rail projects have been completed. If it does go ahead the route needs to be moved as the present proposal is unacceptable.
