It’s chaos in this bit of Northfield each day at the moment, since the Severn Trent work began on Longbridge Lane. All of the traffic is trying to find an alternative way through on small residential roads. There was a three car
collision on Pamela Rd a couple of weeks ago too. Severn Trent don’t seem to be in any rush to finish, but with two accidents now they might want to hurry up.
