MORE PRESURE ON BUSY JUNCTION AND ROAD

The Planning committee have allowed a number of planning applications recently which in my view will help snarl up traffic using the Aldridge Road Bores head junction.
The latest application to be allowed is for industrial units on land next to the Perry Barr Locks bridge. What has amazed me is that although informed juggernauts will be using the site (a new entrance will be located on the Aldridge Road) no one knows how many of these lorries will be using the site and at what times.
I welcome the jobs many of these new developments will bring.How ever the Transportation department needs to be aware of the potential problems, large lorries using this new entrance may have on an already, at time dangerous stretch of road,to say nothing of the holdups they will be joining when they get to the Bores Head Junction at busy times of the day.
