Respondent: Beacon Heights Resident Association

Beacon Heights Residents strongly object to any proposal which will promote more traffic using Pinfold Lane as a rat run to junction 7 on the motorway at Great Barr. I have [redacted sensitive information] of accidents in Pinfold Lane. These are the ones I have witnessed. Goodness knows how many more there has been. Insurance companies have confirmed if you have a Pinfold Lane address your premium will rise because Pinfold Lane is regarded as a ‘hot spot’ for accidents. Local councillors and officers agree there is a problem there but there is never enough funding to do the work. If there was a one way system from the Bella Pais end of the Pinfold Lane to Old Hall junction on then up to the sharp bend by Barr Beacon school the risk of accidents would be far less. This should be carried out long before any more traffic is introduced into our area. Pinfold Lane was build for farm traffic not motorway traffic.
