V. Roe I ask why are parents so protective of their children
between 3-4pm...and don't seem to care when sme of them at late evening are
running around being a nuisance. We use to walk to school....its pure
laziness

Matthew Bond I agree Parish only has so much power, so why are we
not using our local Evening Mail and Parish Gazette, to highlight failing
parents whom are allowing, their children to make such a nice area
continually go down. Hobs Farm in CB, has under age drinkers, young girls
of age 9 wandering around until 10.00pm...and despite the posting that golf
is illegal on this site on a beautiful Sunday afternoon we have three lads
aged 11-13 aiming golf balls at the houses. We use to have the community
officer around...but as ever at the wrong times. In a day when children go
missing I am surprised at so many parents not knowing what their children
are up to. In response to traffic Ted Richards only consulted those on
the service road about its closure, are they now going to ask residents all
of whom were in favour to pay for the up keep..!! On the matter of the
A452...why for godsake not give longer sentences to those who were driving
at 90

The public transport available from the Prakfield Estate to the
green lane area is appalling, the only bus service that runs is the 71 and
the regularity of that service is also appalling. Although a new service has
been put into place, which resulted in the withdrawal of the 92 and 963 bus
service, there has been no improvements made to the bus services available
to the parkfield estate residents. I find this an obstacle to get to
school in the morning and evening, and with the dark nights drawing in, I am
reduced to catching the 94 bus from school and walking home from the green
lane area. Not only is this putting young people at risk, but consider the
elderly who share the same problem. I hope that something can be changed and
quickly!

Re the Collector Road
speed limit. You can now cross the road by car with some safety -
previously the 70 brigade (who frequently exceeded this figure) were up you
before you could complete the crossing and there was no margin for error -
it is worthy of note that there were 4 fatalities and many more accidents
previously because drivers thought it was a motorway and not a suburban
area. As always these things depend on your point of view - safety like
security imposes restricts.

Why have all the major roads in the vicinity of the M6 Toll
(including the collector) had their speed limits dropped.

Hello, my name is James
Doris, I am Mathew Bond's partner in crime, or at least the second rep for
Solihull, I believe he is an extremely key figure in the youth process in
our borough and recommend any thoughts should be passed to him as he will
ensure all matters are at least addressed at a higher level.

As a member of Castle Bromwich cricket club I feel it is important that
you discuss this matter.
As many of us get older we are needing to bring more youth through therefore
I ask for a section or link from this page should be made available.

Why has the council taken the speed limit from 70 down to 50 on the
Chester road collector road.
It is a duel carriage way which 70 is the national limit. The road is a long
slow bend with plenty of time and a unobstructed view at both ends. I they
think it is a black spot, use speed cameras. That is what they are meant to
be used for.... Is it a way to make us who work in Solihull but live outside
this area travel on the M6 forcing more traffic on to the motorway.

I am Matthew Bond United Kingdom Youth Parliament Rep For Solihull and I
am also Chairman of Castle Bromwich Youth Parish Council and I would like to
point out that the parish council of Castle Brom has only so much power to
alter things like slip roads and traffic calming projects. The parish
council also has very little money for such projects. The real people behind
traffic calming and road planning is Solihull borough council and if anyone
has specific concerns i recommend that they either contact me by e - mail
and I will point them in the right direction to express there concerns or I
will do my best to address these issues myself.

Can anyone tell me how the speed bumps have helped with traffic calming
along Green Lane and Auckland Drive? Drivers may have been forced to slow
down, in fear of causing damage to their cars when driving over them - but
it has become a more common occurrence these days to see drivers swing out
into the centre of the road to avoid their car taking the full brunt of the
speed bump - this has not helped road safety!

Is anything going to be done about the congestion that builds up around Castle Bromwich
infant and junior school between 3pm and 4pm. It is getting out of hand rapidly, surely it
isn't going to have to take the death of a child before something is done about it!

When are the parish council going to make the slip road in front of the Chester Arms and
row of shops one way. Someone will get seriously injured one day.
