A report this week shows that the two worst traffic jam hotspots outside London are in our area. The worst traffic congestion is on the Stratford Road from Robin Hood Lane to its junction with Warwick Road, through Sparkhill. and the second worst jams are along the Stratford Road from Warwick Road to Camp Hill, through Sparkbrook. A regular user of the route into Birmingham, using Shaftmoor Lane onto Stratford Road is likely to spend nearly 100 hours a year sitting in traffic. No wonder National Express want to withdraw the 31 bus service, which they argue cannot operate to a timetable or be commercial because of these jams. (See thmIndependent archive for October 2017) Our local authority must sort this issue out. Residents in Tyseley and Fox Hollies have as much right to be able to travel into Birmingham to work and shop as residents in other suburbs of Birmingham.
