At a meeting of the Oscott Ward Committee tonight 18 th Feb a senior Birmingham City Engineer informed the meeting that Traffic lights were to be installed at the Nova court / Queslett Road junction in May and the work would take 20 weeks to complete.
Following questions by Councillor Dring and myself he agreed that the junction would not be closed when the work was being carried out, partly due to the poor condition of the Booths Lane Unadopted road which is not in good enough condition to be used as another exit.
It has taken 3 year of Transportation inaction to get to this point, but those present welcomed this announcement. Sandwell Council are now expected to sign their agreement to the work being carried out shortly.The money was given by the developers of the land at the Saint Margarets site near by as part of their planning agreement.
"I welcome this and would like to thank all those residents and various Councillors for all their hard work in putting pressure of the Birmingham City Council to finally make this announcement. It has been a long time coming but we must look forward to its completion in a positive way."

Well done no one has worked as hard to get these lights.
You watch Green dive on this one.
I think a lot of people have worked hard on this issue.
If other do want to claim credit for them selves so be it.
I just hope the work gets done before there is another accident.
