The bridle path at site 26 is used daily for exercise, walking, dog walking and enjoying what little countryside there is. Haslucks Green Road is one of the most congested roads in Shirley. Bills Lane at peak times also congested. The railway bridge has height restrictions for goods vehicles hence no buses. Congestion in Bills Lane also occurs at Woods Farm during the Christmas season. Accidents occur frequently at the Bill Lane bend.
