Station Road
It is part of plans to close
stations – including Solihull – for 15 West Midlands “hubs”,
including one in Birmingham
This will see more “remote”
operating points, such as Knowle. The programme will increase regional
locations from 88 to 146.
The service has applied to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council change the use of part of the gymnasium
to an office.
Assistant area manager Robert
Marsh said: “These sites exist with the sole purpose to spread our resource to
places where we believe we need it.
“The locations have been
chosen based on several years worth of data which have given us a trend value
of where we need to be.”
The plans will “provide more
effective patient care” he said.
He said he recognised there
will be “anxieties” about siren noise but these would be used more in the day.
