Received: 11/03/2019

Respondent: Wendy Cairns

Representation Summary:

Proposed bypass merely moves existing congestion 500 metres to east of village a true bypass would be to the west. Village centre difficult to improve without major demolition and needs more parking needs a concept plan now not in 5 years. agree more parking needed now. Needs more local trains and buses but unlikely to be sustainable here cars will remain main form of transport. Schools will only cope if non borough pupils are excluded. Solihull needs to spend some of the CIL in Balsall Common. Concept masterplans great idea but longevity and ability to resist modification is suspect
