Hi Everybody
Just been monitoring the traffic. 21.00 till 22.00 This is what I have witnessed.
HGV Traffic heading for B’ham are taking the eastern avenue bypass the diversion route. Which is logical.
It appears that HGV Traffic that want to proceed to the A5 towards Cannock are not taking the diversion route and are proceeding down from the Eastern avenue/ A51 junction near the Hedgehog restaurant straight on towards the Bowling Green Roundabout. This is where some HGVs take the Sainte Foy Route towards the A5 Muckley corner ,others are taking the Walsall road through Leomansley. So they are going to get it for the next 3 weeks !!

Hi Roy
Have you seen the new signs that have gone up for the resurfacing of Trent Valley Road. The diversions are already up
Hi Greg
Is it a new one or an old one from the work before?. got to admit never noticed that. if they are working on TVR the only place that’s really bad down there is at the junction of Wissage Road. The signs on eastern ave and cappers lane refer to the on-going work on the A38.

I noticed last evening, 4th August, HGV traffic going both ways down St John’s st. As they turn the corner at the library they are mounting the pavement, where pedestrians wait at the crossing, because they are too big to make the turn. Someone is going to get hurt. They seem to be taking this as a short cut from A51 to A38. The council need to get a grip of this situation.
Hi Gwyn,
I know where you mean road is definitely too narrow for HGVs. For speeding as I say ring 101 and complain getting a Ref,for the other (short cut) email your County councillor which I believe is Terry Finn ? and bring it to his attention. So he can try and do something. My experience is keep badgering them till they do something. The only excuse for an HGV to go that way is if they are delivering to Morrison’s or B&M Which they do at night.I have witnessed B&M HGVs delivering to the store at night But my opinion they should come via the Bowling Green island and Morrison’s should come from the North/ Eastern ave . Keep on Keeping on Gwynn !!
