Motion to Stourport Town Council, 11th July 2023
Council requests Worcestershire County Council Highways Department to consider looking at the Stourport-on-Severn town road infrastructure and in particular for the requirement of a “yellow box” at the junction of Severn Road/Mitton Street to alleviate congestion from the Tesco car park.
As there are currently 8 housing developments in Stourport-on-Severn currently under construction or due to commence, the town is becoming gridlocked and it is perceived this will only get worse.
