Respondent: Cllr Adam Kent
As with Site 4 the infrastructure is not fit to support these additional houses. Already this area is very congested and with a further 350 houses from Site 4 the traffic will converge and be added to site 26 on a busy junction to create a logjam all the way into and out of Shirley. As in many areas local roads are overwhelmed with increasing traffic and infrastructure suitability is a determining factor. Vehicles heading to B'ham will be forced onto Haslucks Green Road and access the narrow Drawbridge Rd and Peterbrook Rd to utilise back routes to the City.
