Dear Hannah Jewell

 

Thank you for your request for information.

 

Firstly, please accept my apologies for the delay in being able to provide
you with a full response within the 20 working day deadline.

 

Information provided by service teams so far is included within the
attachment. As far as I can see it is only your first question that
remains unanswered. Unfortunately, despite sending request due reminders
our highways service left it until the deadline before notifying the
Access to Information Team that information to answer this question is not
held but may be held by our contracted highways partner. I hope that we
will be in a position to provide an answer to the following soon.

 

a. Has the Council approved any new*1 or expanded*2 roads or road
junctions in its area from 1st January 2019 until 1st January 2023? Please
list which ones were accepted.

 

*1 The intention of this question is to understand overall increases in
road capacity, rather than recent housing developments. Please exclude
minor roads built exclusively to connect new housing to the pre-existing
road network.

 

*2 An expanded road or road junction is one that has increased capacity
for motor vehicle traffic, not counting bus lanes, cycle infrastructure,
or pedestrian infrastructure. Please include roads and junctions where new
lanes have been added.

 

 

If you have any comments relating to how your request has been handled by
our authority you should contact us in the first instance. Send your
comment or complaint to:

 

Access to Information Team Manager, Access to Information Team,
Staffordshire County Council, 1 Staffordshire Place, Stafford ST16 2DH or
email [1][Staffordshire County Council request email]

 

If you then have any further comments relating to how your request has
been handled by our authority, please contact the Information
Commissioner, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF, or
[2]Make a complaint | ICO

Dear Hannah Jewell

 

Further to my email below the service has now located some additional
information and send their apologies for the delay. I understand that this
is because the information is not held in such a way that it can be
reported/extracted from a system and they have had to trawl through
records of potentially relevant schemes.

 

The following highway capacity improvements have been delivered since
2019:

 

-       Lichfield Southern Bypass

-       Stafford  Western Access Road

-       I54 junction access on  M54

-       A34 Redhill Marden Grange – widened junction

-       A543 Sutton Rd/B4151 Slade Rd, Mile Oak

-       Kidsgrove Town Centre  improvements

-       A5121 Derby Rd/A511 Horninglow Street, Burton

-       A5189 Evershead Way/Shobnall Rd, Burton

-       A5189 Orchard Street roundabout, Burton

-       A460 Eastern Way Cannock

-       MGOV Churchbridge supervision

-       A5127 Lichfield – capacity improvements at key junctions

-       Stubwood Ln/Oak Rd/Lady Meadow, Rocester

-       Branston Interchange Imps

-       A53 Transport Corridor Improvements

-       A34 Lower Street/ Enderley St

-       Upper Gungate/Aldergate corridor, Tamworth

-       Birmingham Rd/Falkland Rd, Lichfield – junction imps and
carriageway widening

However, please note that there may be some other schemes for which the
service has not been able to locate information within the appropriate
limit (18 hours).
