'It has cost us business and disrupted deliveries' – Farm shop owner criticises major A449 roadworks scheme
Business owners affected by the first phase of major roadworks on the A449 in the Stourton, Lawnswood and Wall Heath area claim they have been 'kept in the dark' about the work.
The first phase of work on the A449 Kidderminster Road and Wolverhampton Road got under way last week affecting the road from the Stewponey at Stourton towards Wall Heath and also the Himley area.
It is continuing this week with a deadline set by the county council of June 18.
Matthew Roberts has worked at the family business, Roberts Farm Shop on the Kidderminster Road Wall Heath for nearly 50 years and runs it with his mother Pat and wife Lucy.
