Notices have gone up announcing the closure of Clemson Street Car Park in advance of work starting on the long awaited new Morrison’s store for Willenhall and already the Liberal Democrat Focus Team are receiving phone calls from shoppers, shopkeepers and traders about the lack of information about alternative parking.
Anne Willoughby, who heads up the Willenhall South Team, has asked Walsall Council to ensure information about where alternative car parking is sited along with signs directing motorists to them.
Commenting on the lack of information Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires said “Why is it that the council never seems to get its act together on major projects such as this? The new store will not open till later this year so there will be considerable disruption whilst work goes on. All that is required is a little commonsense, is that too much to ask for?
“Lessons need to be learned, any disruption created by regeneration work in Willenhall needs to be kept to a minimum. The council should be working closely with shopkeepers, traders and shoppers to ensure that there needs are catered for so trade does not suffer” concluded Ian.
