Obstruction of crossing by advertising board.
Dear Birmingham City Council,
The Junction of Tyburn road / wheelwright road crossing and traffic lights. A Ocean advertising board has been erected near to these lights, which is a crossing area that children use regularly to assess the boxing gym across the road. This crossing is already a dangerous place to cross due to the speed of the cars, bikes, and HGV using this road. This advertising board obstructs the footpath but more importantly obscures the view of on coming car drivers and hides pedestrians standing at the crossing . This is a fatality waiting to happen as drivers race along this road, as council are fully aware. This has previously been reported by a resident but no action taken by Birmingham city council. The lights at the same junction are also causing congestion which is resulting in cars and a vast amount of HGV idling outside our homes. The tail back of traffic is impacting on the already illegal levels of Air and noise pollution residents are experiencing. This again was reported by another resident due to the impact on health and his children. Could Birmingham city council provide the following.
Health, safety, risk, and impact assessment completed prior to erection of this Ocean advertising board.
Who funded this advertising board.
Details/reports of the adjustments made to the lights at this junction in the last six months, resulting in failure to secure the expeditious movement of traffic outside our homes.
Yours faithfully,
Mr thompson
