The Improving Accessibility paragraph is woefully short on detail. The Council cannot simply state what they want to achieve without telling us how they plan to achieve it. The journey time by bus into Birmingham is currently close to 60 minutes during rush hour. The alternative of rail travel is acceptable but the parking at the local stations are dire, no spaces at Widney or Shirley after 7:30 am. Weekend travel for shopping or visiting relatives is also an ordeal at the moment without the addition of extra housing in south Shirley. Travel time by car through 14 sets of traffic lights along the Stratford Road through Shirley can take 15 minutes for less than 1.5 miles.
