Bus Lane Goes!

Well that’s it for the Dudley Park Lane/Warwick Road Bus Lane.  This picture was taken Thursday 25th February: an historic moment.  This is the bus lane we have been campaigning to get rid of since 2004, and everyone else agreed … they always have!

What next for Acocks Green?  Will we now get the super new design we have been promised though?  Or will the rest stay on indefinite hold?   We will continue to watch, campaign and report.

The plan is available for downloading, viewing and/or printing here

The letter accompanying the plan is here

The opinion sheet, which can be downloaded and returned, is here

The Focus Group had some initial concerns about how the removal would fit into the overall plans and whether work would need to be, expensively, re-done later.     We reproduce the information  here, for the sake of local democracy.   Having now been able to review these documents  we cannot see that this plan is likely to cause any serious concerns although we would be interested to receive comments.
