The former wartime RAF Perton site was developed for housing between 1974 and 1989. To avoid traffic congestion in the small lanes in the neighbouring areas of Wolverhampton the only road access to the village is on the western side from Jenny Walker's Lane. However, special provision was made for buses which use this special 'bus gateway' controlled by traffic lights and barrier. This reduces the journey into Wolverhampton by several miles.
