Welcome to the campaign to stop the Red Route proposed for the A461 -  and let people across the West Midlands join together to defeat CENTRO'S self interested plans.
Click here to see that a Red Route would mean a lot of NO's for us!

This is an example  of the traffic flow on the A461 at 5pm. Not quite the problem of traffic obstruction  that Centro would have us believe justifies  their ludicrous proposals! Click here to see more evidence

• The A461/A491 campaign - ...communities, from Tipton through Brierley Hill and to Stourbridge, are standing shoulder to shoulder in opposing this Red Route. They are supported by MP Ian Pearson. A a growing number of Dudley MBC Councillors are declaring their support for the NO red route campaign. Thank you to the Stourbridge website for your support.

  From the London Borough of Wandsworth site we get the true picture of bureaucrats riding roughshod over democratically elected representatives

  "Whilst the Council generally supports the principles behind the red routes it opposed the designation of two routes in the borough, where it believes the red route would be unnecessary and inappropriate. Despite its opposition, the Council has been Directed to proceed with the implementation of both sections."

  and indeed Wandsworth now seems to want to abandon red routes ... click here to see why Wandsworth Borough Hopes Mayor Will Abolish Red Routes
