Red route for Pleck and Bescot
The YamYam 14 Nov 09
Controversial plans for a £1.2 million red route road scheme are to be put before council bosses for approval.
The A4148 in Pleck Road and Bescot Road will become no stopping zones in the new year in an attempt to ease traffic congestion. But local businesses fear that the double red lines will deter shoppers and create difficulties in receiving vital deliveries. Walsall Council cabinet member for transport, Councillor Tom Ansell said:
“We have spent a great deal of time listening to what residents would like to see along the road. The great majority of people are in favour of the project and can see what we are trying to achieve for them which is heartening.”
Walsall has already introduced red routes on the A454 Wolverhampton Road at a cost of £900,000 and on Broadway North. Future red route schemes include the A461 Lichfield Road, the A452 Chester Road, the A4041 Queslett Road and the A4031 West Bromwich Road which are part of the plans to introduce 260 miles of red routes across the West Midlands by 2015 at a cost of £28 million.
