i am concerned about the lack of provision for transport. New housing developments such as the one in Blythe Valley are being advertised as 20 mins from Birmingham city centre when travelling from Widney Manor; the issue is is that there are not enough car park spaces for cars at the moment, let alone for all of these new households. The bus routes are insufficient and not regular or reliable enough to provide an alternative. As a parent i have to take my daughter to school but post 8am there are no spaces.
Whitlocks End train station is also full by 8.30.
