Your chance to question Wolverhampton City Council chief over roads chaos

Have you lost time stuck in endless queues because of roadworks? Or struggled to find your way due to mind-boggling street closures, diversions and changes to the roads?

moreIt's been a summer of traffic chaos in Wolverhampton city centre, with work taking place on a £1.6 million road improvements project including the newly-pedestrianised Princess Street and the re-routing of traffic.

Drivers have also dealt with additional congestion on a daily basis because of buses and coaches blocking the road at Pipers Row during the morning and evening rush hours as they set down and pick up passengers.

But now is the time to find out why it's all been happening as we will be putting 10 of your questions about the work and why it's been done the way it has to the deputy leader of Wolverhampton council, Peter Bilson.

The councillor has agreed to be quizzed about anything to do with the city's roads.

We want to hear the burning questions that come into your minds - maybe you want to know why part of your daily route to work had to be closed? Or maybe you think it could have all be done a better way? Let us know what you would ask the councillors in charge of the city's roads.

Email us your questions to newsdesk@expressandstar.co.uk by Friday and yours might be put to Councillor Bilson.

The trouble has included work on Princess Street. A section of the road was closed for four months and the scheme has come under heavy criticism, claiming two businesses as casualties.

It has also left motorists face a daily headache as they maneuvere their cars around the streets. But council bosses say the pedestrianisation scheme will make the city's main shopping areas more pedestrian friendly, while also reducing the number of cars driving around the centre.

And there could be more headaches to come with work under way in Berry Street as part of the controversial £1.6 million city centre road shake-up and alternative routes in place.

Drivers trying to access Princess Alley, Princess Street, Wheeler's Fold and the western end of Berry Street will have to go through Market Street and Princess Street for three weeks.
