Birmingham Road/Union View roadworks
We have been notified that the ongoing Birmingham Road/Union View roadworks (expected to be complete by the end of the year) may delay buses travelling in that area. The delay could be 15 minutes coming from Solihull and 5 minutes exiting Hatton Park. Other roadworks on the network could cause further delays in extreme circumstances. Please keep this in mind when planning your journeys.
Bike safety reminder
A reminder to Parents and Carers about bike safety.
The Myton Road is particularly busy first thing in the morning so children need to stay safe and continue developing road and traffic awareness during their journeys to and from school.

Further information about the roadworks starting on Myton Road/Old Warwick Road and Queensway roundabouts on the 13 May for the next 12 months can be found here, and in the posters below.
