Consultation underway on proposals to develop the existing junction of the A4123, A4034 and M5.

As well as reducing traffic congestion, the proposals will improve access for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as improve reliability on the bus services (4/H/M and 126) that have to cross this busy junction.

Brings back my memories of Oldbury garage on the North West side of the Island in it's final days. This was after it closed in 1986, but before demolition. It was a very sad sight watching the building all boarded up and getting vandalised. :(
