Householders in St Martin's have said they have spent 40 years battling with the council and police over lack of enforcement of the access-only roads in the village, which they say are being used illegally by motorists – and now the council is planning another.
In the past, residents have even blocked roads in protest at the lack of action in enforcing the access-only roads.
Now Cornovii Development Ltd is seeking outline permission for up to 900 homes on land off Shrewsbury Road, with an access-only road, which Shropshire Council is set to approve.
