Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7289

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Sally Woodhall

Representation Summary:

Cycle paths in Solihull lack connectivity, many are just marked line lines along very busy roads. we need good off road cycle routes that connect to main shopping areas and railway stations with good cycle parking in appropriate places.
Congestion on all roads from south shirley to the stratford road, haslucks green road, bills lane, shakespear drive, tanworth lane, blackford road and dog kennel lane are all way over capacity at peak times. Not sure what help putting in speed reductions on the stratford road will do when the traffic only crawls at very low speeds at peak times.
