A34 Stratford Road / School Road junction
The Council is planning to carry out works to change the road layout in School Road and to provide a shared use cycleway / footway along the western side of the Stratford Road in the vicinity of School Road.
Following consultation with local residents and stakeholders, surveys of traffic, and a recent decision by Cabinet Member for Transport & Highways Solihull Council will be carrying out works to permanently change the road layout.

New Cycle Route
In December last year we consulted local residents and stakeholders on draft plans to provide facilities for cyclists at the Stratford Road / Union Road / School Road junction.
The consultation indicated a high level of support for the proposals with over 80% in favour of the plans. View a summary of the results of the consultation.
We are now planning to carry out works to provide a shared use cycleway / footway along the west side of the Stratford Road as a first phase of the project. View the plan showing the proposed cycleway.
