Rowley Regis accident blackspot ready for £100,000 revamp
An accident blackspot where 26 people have been injured in crashes since 2009 is set to undergo a £100,000 revamp, council chiefs have revealed.
Plans to overhaul the junction of Doulton Road and Dudley Road, in Rowley Regis, are set to be given the go-ahead at a council meeting next week.
Council bosses said the revamp of the junction - which will see traffic lights installed - came in the wake of a review of accidents on the stretch.
This found that between December 2009 and February 2017 there were 13 separate incidents which led to 26 casualties.
Councillor Chris Tranter, who represents the Rowley ward, said: "It's a very nasty junction especially coming up the road. It's a steep hill and was originally brought to my notice due to the housing developments there.
