Tamworth’s MP Delighted with Opening of New Sainsbury’s Exit

Conservative councillors Michael Oates & Tina Clements celebrate the opening of the the exit

Christopher Pincher, MP for Tamworth, says he is delighted at by the completion of the new car park exit at Sainsbury’s.

Plans for the new car park exit were approved in the summer and work began in early October. The congestion issues are of real concern to local residents as well as people who journey from further afield to use Ventura Retail Park, which has seen massive expansion over the past decade.  The complex now boasts a range of new stores including John Lewis, Next at Home, and B&Q.

Mr Pincher said, “It is really good news to see the second exit complete and on time. This has the potential to massively relieve the traffic flow in and out of the car park. The gridlock around Ventura were hugely frustrating for drivers and I hope that the improved infrastructure will encourage more visitors and support new jobs at Ventura for the people of Tamworth.  I am glad the project is ready for the big Christmas shop.”

Staffordshire County Council, Tamworth Borough Council and Sainsbury’s have been work closely to ensure this solution to the traffic problems is delivered swiftly with minimum disruption to current traffic flows.
