Fresh discussions have launched about lifting a ban on turning left from Wrottesley Park Road, Perton, onto Pattingham Road.
Following a length campaign by Gavin Williamson, MP for South Staffordshire, Staffordshire County Council has confirmed that it will look at the possibility of permanently lifting the ban.
In a letter to Gavin, a representative stated: “I can confirm that officers from County Council Highways services are discussing this matter in more detail with local Members to consider potential options in relation to the existing prohibition arrangements.”
Gavin said: “I am delighted the possibility of lifting this left turn ban is now being re-visited. It is absurd that local residents travelling from Perton to Wolverhampton should have to see their journeys significantly lengthen unnecessarily. I sincerely hope that the Council makes the right decision and permanently lifts this ridiculous restriction.”
Gavin successfully campaigned, last year, to secure a temporary lift of the ban during the Nancherrow Tough Guy event.
