The Highways Agency are still showing little or no regard for local residents affected by the on-going works connected with the M6 Active Management Project reports Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.
The Highways Agency’s contractor Carillion has once again removed a whole swathe of environmental fencing between j10 and J9 Southbound ahead of planned works to construct an Emergency Rescue Area (ERA) and repairs to motorway drainage which directly affects residents in the Hough Road area of Pleck.
“I can understand the need to remove fencing ahead of ERA construction work” said Ian, “but experience in the Wood Lane area of Short Heath, Willenhall to the North of J10 has shown that residents could have been spared inconvenience from motorway noise by delaying the removal of fencing for drainage works.
“The removal of all the fencing is purely down to cost and convenience on the part of the contractor and flies in the face promises made to limit inconvenience to residents” said Ian.
Liberal Democrat activist Mohammed Yaqub alerted colleagues on the council to this latest outrage following enquiries from residents in the Hough Road area of Pleck
