I am appalled that it is considered necessary to divert an entire motorway for whole weekends through a town with a one way system. The whole city has been gridlocked and it is causing utter chaos. I urge this issue to be rectified and an alternative solution sought. It is unaccepted that this chaos will continue for the most of the month of September.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about the delays caused by our closure of the southbound carriageway of M6 motorway at junction 33 on the weekend of 11 September. We understand motorists were caught in traffic for a significant period of time and we’re sincerely sorry for this.

We’ve taken onboard recent feedback and plan to do things differently. The new schedule of works will be carried out using lane closures for four weeks starting on Sunday October 2, which will ensure the motorway remains open during the daytime providing a safe environment for both workers and road users.
Under a full southbound closure or with single lane running. During the daytime, we will establish lane closures and run two narrow lanes of traffic past the work area to keep customers moving, removing the need for the full weekend closures, which were previously planned. Once the programme has been finalised with our contractors, we will advertise full details via our website, a press release and social media.
