Respondent: Mr David Cartwright

Representation Summary:

Walsall, Yieldfield Farm, Bloxwhich, Housing: -
This proposal could generate nearly 2,000 extra cars, adding to traffic on the A34, Stafford Road, The Turnberry and Lower Farm estates are already plagued by traffic using us as a rat runs/ cut thrus to avoid major junctions in Bloxwich. There is very little off road parking on the estates as the original garage blocks are in disrepair and not being let out by the authority for use. Working form home means all the roads are now effectively one lane as the roads are not designed for the size of modern vehicles and congestion on all the main roads is already a problem. Buses find it hard to negotiate junctions.
