Logistics UK teams up with TfWM to help members plan for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

Logistics UK has been working with Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) to ensure that members that operate in the area can continue to deliver essential goods and services to Birmingham, Britain’s second biggest city, and across the wider West Midlands region in the run up to and during the Games.

On Tuesday (5 April 2022), Logistics UK was invited to join an introductory online webinar hosted by TfWM, which included the latest information on how logistics businesses can continue to operate across the area during the Commonwealth Games. TfWM shared details about traffic management measures, including access and parking restrictions around competition venues and road events. Members can visit its website to find out more information and subscribe to updates.

Chris Yarsley, Policy Manager – West Midlands, Logistics UK, said: “Whilst residents and businesses based in the West Midlands are extremely proud that their region has been chosen to host the Commonwealth Games, members that operate across the region are rightfully concerned that there will be significant disruption to traffic. It is imperative that we work with Transport for West Midlands to ensure that the important West Midlands economy can continue to function effectively in the run up to and during the Games.”
