Protest at move to close test HQ

Campaigners are organising a second protest to show "road chaos" which they say will be caused by the planned closure of Kidderminster Driving Test Centre.On Monday dozens of cars fixed with protest flags will all park up along Dudley's test centre at Gornal.

It aims to show what will happen if hordes of novice drivers are forced to travel to Dudley to take their test - if Driving Standards Agency Officials proceed with plans to scrap Kidderminster's test centre.

Recently the Driving Standards Agency refused to rethink its decision to close the Castle Road centre and would not consider alternative sites in Kidderminster.

Last Friday over 40 cars took part in a go-slow from Kidderminster to Lower Gornal in protest. Wyre Forest Councillor Julian Phillips said today: "This time the protest cars are going to be parked up in rush hour along Lake Street."
