[Lex]

I'm not optimistic about any problems being solved: http://www.stratford-herald.com/71799-green-light-2-7m-birmingham-road-improvements.html

The improvements are being delayed: http://www.stratford-herald.com/103525-dismay-birmingham-road-improvements-delayed.html

It doesn't look brilliant to me. I forecast rather a few 'bumps'!

[Lex]

'Bumps', along with 'Jams', 'Delays' & 'Gridlock' :rolleyes:

Roadworks on Birmingham Road and Wood Street in the centre of town at the same time. Stratford's going to be a car park for the next couple of months: https://www.stratford-herald.com/news/traffic-lights-warning-for-busy-stratford-road-during-gas-pi-9235173/

13 months of roadworks on the Stratford - Evesham Road to accommodate new housing in Stratford: https://www.stratford-herald.com/news/evesham-road-roundabout-works-could-cause-traffic-delays-9239883/

Along with 6 months of work on the Shipston/Banbury/Wellesbourne Road & Clopton Bridge Junction, and a couple of years of roadworks on the Brum Road, Stratford ain't going to be a great place to drive

After being closed for 3 months, part of Wood Street's paved pavement had been replaced & improved with some nice looking tarmac: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/team-effort-for-wood-street-improvements/

The roadworks around the Clopton Bridge area have been delayed, the excuse being 'unexpected utility diversions' (lack of basic research?) & inflation: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/traffic-mitigation-measures-at-clopton-bridge-in-stratford-paused.
