Traffic lights in Stirchley update

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

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.

Proposed traffic calming in Bournville & Cotteridge

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Birmingham City Council are looking to extend the Places for People scheme across more of Bournville & Cotteridge Ward. This will make further changes to keep through traffic on the more main roads.

The proposed changes are aimed to complement the temporary measures introduced to Bournville in 2020. This was where large planters and bollards were placed on Oak Tree Lane and Franklin Road to prevent motorised vehicles from using these side streets to cut through and avoid main roads.

Whilst these proposed changes are not in Stirchley, there are several changes that may have an impact on residents, notably the one way system on Bournville side of Mary Vale Road and a shared-use path along Bournville Lane.

For more information or to view the documents relating to the proposed changes, visit the Bournville and Cotteridge Places for People page of Birmingham Be Heard. The council will also be holding drop in sessions and an online briefing, if you would like to know more / ask questions. Information on these events are also on that link.

You have until the 2nd July to make comments via the Council’s website.
