Good luck to all showers
The local radio stations were reporting traffic chaos on all the local motorways M42, M40 and M6 from 8.00 until 13.00 today. It was no better this evening either. One station reported the Police asked locals not to abandon their cars on minor surrounding roads as this was adding to the traffic problems. It appears local residents gave up waiting in queues, opting to leave their vehicles to return and collect them later this evening. Probably a good idea to allow extra time for your journeys, especially anyone travelling southbound on the M42 as there are additional roadworks between junction 11 and 10 for bridge repairs.
