Representation Summary:

[DUH222]

The green is well used by the local community for various activities such as dog walking and by children of all ages for a multitude of recreational purposes. It is also very important for mental health that we have these open spaces highlighted by the effects of the recent pandemic.

It has become a haven for wildlife over the last 20/30 years with several types of bats, barn owls and buzzards.

Several residents including myself do regular litter picks to keep the area tidy.

Pensnett people feel they have given up enough land over recent years it should be brownfield sites and local eyesores that should be used and not our green. Generally locals feel that they are looked down upon by the more affluent areas such as Stourbridge and Kingswinford.

The roads are congested at all times of day/night and can't cope with the present traffic let along adding.

Schools are oversubscribed and a promised doctors surgery has never materialised

How will the drainage system cope with extra use?
