Respondent: Warwickshire County Council

Seeks to continue to work with Solihull MBC to further strengthen sustainable transport provision. In relation to rail, the County Council would like to work jointly in order to develop a number of key projects including (1) Stratford-upon-Avon – Birmingham rail corridor (2) maximise the potential of a potential new Birmingham – Oxford service and (3) Coleshill Parkway.
Given the significant housing development at Balsall Common, the County Council wishes to better understand the impact this may have on demand for rail travel. In addition to a likely increase in demand at Berkswell station (resulting in a need for parking expansion) there may be further demand placed on Warwick Parkway station given its proximity, accessibility and frequent rail service to London.
Measures to provide better sustainable access to Dorridge station to serve housing growth in the Knowle/Dorridge area are supported.
