Respondent: Mr Steven Westwood

Representation Summary:

With reference to site DUH217.
Green space for mental well being and wildlife interaction is crucial . This Bridal path is used by thousands of locals and people travelling along the greenbelt to exercise, pick blackberrys, apples, elderberrys, and sloes. It played a vital role during the pandemic for people who could not travel out of the area. We need these small and beautiful places to intersect urban spread.
From a wildlife point of view, this site is home to plenty of creatures including bats, foxes, , toads, hedgehogs, green woodpeckers and tawny owls.
Shame on Dudley council !
