Traffic lights in Stirchley update

Residents will no doubt have noticed there are a lot of roadworks happening in Stirchley, mostly along the Pershore Road and high street. This is causing a lot of traffic in the area, as works are being carried out.

The roadworks for Breedon Bridge / Lifford Lane / Pershore Rd, which appeared today (16 August) are due to end in a week on 22/8/24, as are the ones near Morrisons.

The roadworks on Stirchley high street by British Oak are due to take a little longer, but are to be completed 30/8/24. This is due to the need to the need to excavate down within highway to expose existing foul / surface water sewers, and install new drainage lengths.
