BROMSGROVE MP Bradley Thomas has called on Worcestershire County Council to install a mirror to improve road safety along the town’s Ednall Lane.
Mr Thomas has been working with the residents of Nailers Court who have raised concerns about the lack of visibility when exiting their car park and, they say, there have been several near misses.
The roads in the area are narrow.
Mr Thomas said the county council told them there had been no serious accidents reported and, as vegetation and hedges in the area were overgrown, cutting them back would improve safety.
But the MP and residents do not feel this would be sufficient to improve safety and warn something needs to be done before a serious crash occurs.
Mr Thomas said: “What they (the county council) fail to take into consideration is the numerous near misses that have happened.
“It just shouldn’t be the case that a serious accident has to happen before any action is taken by the county council.”
He vowed to continue working with the residents until something was done.
Mike Chaplain from Nailers Court said: “The residents are becoming extremely concerned that the lack of visibility will lead to a serious accident and ask the council to help in preventing that happening.
“The suggestion of cutting back vegetation we do not believe will solve the problem.”
