[WAH237]

I wish to object to WAH237, Reference Aldridge North proposed housing scheme. On looking at the proposal:
1. Local Roads are not suitable for increased traffic
2. there are not pavements on Stonnal Road
3. There is a very limited public transport serivce, ie once per hour.
4. Local GP surgery is heavily oversubscribed
5. Local dentists are heavily oversubscribed
6. Local Schools, ie nursery, infants, juniors, and secondary are all at capacity

With the proposed 363 houses to the north of Stonnall Road this would bring a sustained pressure to the Water, Gas, Electric, telephone-internet, sewage systems within the area.

Walsall Council's policy for bringing new employment to the area is minimal.

It would appear that the Government's Policy on Housing being implemented through Walsall Council is purely to satisfy the growing immigration influx rather than the needs of the local population.

Aldridge's status as a village is being eroded by the constant expansion of housing an affects the health and well being of the local residents. Alternate sites should be sought prior to this area being considered for expansion
