Re-open Park Street as a one way road in Blackheath

March 28, 2006

THE PETITION

As concerned traders, taxpayers, and local customers of Blackheath, we have been adversely affected by the construction of Blackheath bypass scheme. As a direct result numerous problems have been created, including: congestion, less parking including for disabled, major safety issues in the local roads and a considerable loss of turnover for traders.

DESIRED OUTCOME

We believe the best solution to overcome this problem would be for Sandwell Council to re-open Park Street, incorporating one way traffic, with removal of chevrons, this will allow the following benefits:

√More parking
√Easy access to the market, including for disabled
√Ease congestion within the town centre
√Removing accident hazards in surrounding roads
√Increasing use of the bypass
√Better air quality
√traders return to satisfactory turnover.
