Allocation 13. The roads are very congested at peak times especially Bills Lane, Shakespeare Drive and Tanworth Lane, I don't move that quickly anymore and it can take me 10 minutes some days to cross Bills Lane. The parking at Shirley and Whitlocks End railway stations, is over capacity now. These roads where not designed for this amount of traffic. Shirley has grown gently over the years, but the main feeder roads have remained unaltered except for traffic calming. Is this Solihull Councils idea of road improvements.
