Huge numbers of houses are to be built off Tamworth road,
historical plans always stated there would be either a link road or
traffic improvements to long lane/Tamworth road junction. Planning
applications appear to be being drip fed rather than the original
overall plans adhered to and the improvements are not in any of the
recent applications. The area is already dangerous with the extra
commuter traffic to/from Lyons park, not to mention the commercial
vehicles using this route, which they are not meant to but do
anyway. Pedestrians have no pedestrian crossings in the area.
Children attending Cardinal Newman School will have to cross even
busier roads. The cafe that is to be built at the Coventry Garden
centre will increase footfall, again without pedestrian
crossings.
This has to be addressed, local residents safety appears to be
secondary to building houses in an area that already lacks shops,
doctors, school placements.
