Teddington and Alstone A46 Advisory Group

Are you worried about the possibility of changes to the A46?

In December 2017 our Parish Council arranged for Councillor Vernon Smith to speak at a public meeting about potential improvements to and expansion of the A46 locally. This was organised following concerns raised at the November Parish Council meeting of the potential impact on our villages.

The A46 Partnership, Midlands Connect along with Western Gateway are tasked with producing a strategy to deliver planned infrastructure improvements to the A46 between M5 Junction 9 and M6/M69 at Coventry.

As resident’s we are very concerned at some of the proposals being talked about and how, if implemented, they could impact on our villages. We have set-up a small working party to help our Parish Council monitor and keep abreast of all the various projects, initiatives, studies and strategies to do with the A46. Hopefully by doing this and being well informed, we can be more proactive and ready to contribute to public surveys and consultations.

TAAG AIM
“To prevent any expansion or realignment of the A46 which would have a detrimental effect on our villages and residents”
