2015 May 29

On the 29th May 2015 I visited Stafford Road to see the problems caused by the introduction of two new bus routes. Residents have told me that buses have had to reverse out of the road because there is not enough room for them to pass each other. Residents have also said that the buses make a lot of noise as they pass over speed humps and create vibrations in their homes. The two new routes were introduced without consultation and residents were only aware when the signs went up that the buses were going to stop at the bus stops. This was in April during the General Election.

I was contacted by a constituent who was concerned about the number of cars speeding outside his home on the Queslett Road in Great Barr.
