The majority of the residents in Earlswood Ward of Tanworth-in-Arden Parish require east-west communications to be improved i.e. Solihull / Redditch / Solihull, rather than north-south communications as at the moment. You did not absorb this comment during the previous Core Strategy Review and we point it out again in order to remind you. Having said that, with the increased traffic flow from Solihull, the A435 running north as a dual carriageway is fine until it becomes a single carriageway road at The Maypole, at which point it bottlenecks, even during off-peak times. This poses the question of infrastructure improvements again. There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of their consideration in the first draft. Our view is that you need to set out plans to upgrade the infrastructure first before anything else is considered.
