M6 Toll Road

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for securing the debate. My constituency is very close to the M6 toll and, indeed, to

the M6. Does he agree that any cost is not only financial? When the M6 is blocked, the ensuing gridlock impacts on local communities, on places such as Brownhills, which has the A5 running through it. They can be adversely affected by the extra traffic, so we need to look at ways in which to mitigate that.
