Midlands Connect seeks views on need for M54/M6 link

Midlands Connect is urging firms to come forward and let them know how the proposed M54/M6 link  would impact their businesses and operations.

The organisation believes a lot of businesses along the M54 corridor would benefit from stronger connections to the northbound M6, but are currently held back by gridlock and daily delays on roads like the A449 and A460.

Integrated Transport Programme Lead for Midlands Connect, Swati Mittal said: “We want to hear from businesses and we want to hear their experiences. We want to hear about the impact that local congestion and gridlock on the A460 and A449 can cause your firm on a daily basis.

“Please do get in touch with us over the next couple of weeks. We need your views to highlight the critical demand to upgrade this vital link to the local road network. Your experiences and thoughts could make a massive difference, please do take five minutes to get in touch and let us know what the impact is on your business.”

The new government has outlined ambitions to unlock key economic growth corridors, and Midlands Connect wants to build a strong case for it to invest in the M54/M6 northbound link. They would like to speak to organisations that use this route to understand how it impacts their business operations, and how investment in the proposed link road would support their businesses to grow or operate more efficiently.

These discussions would be used to form the basis of a qualitative report that will help build the case for this much-needed upgrade. Midlands Connect is urging local business to share their views over the next two weeks.

Views are invited via email to mcadmin@midlandsconnect.uk.
