Owners/occupiers of nos 25, 27, 29 and 60 Widney Lane, Shirley, L and others, sought compensation for certain highway works, involving the construction of a mini roundabout.

The claim was dismissed on the basis that the difference between the pre and post road works was very limited, if the works had not been carried out it was reasonable to assume that the total traffic would have grown, and it had not been established that the use of the altered junction had caused physical factors which would not otherwise have occurred.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
