Representation Summary:

I hope this email finds the correct people in order to object to the building of new houses near Holbeache and Summerhill.

I have lived in Wordsley and then Kingswinford all my life and have always loved the area because of its close proximity to nature. we need to keep these green spaces as what they are and have been for so many; places to unwind, relax, get exercise and fresh air. Mental health is an enormous problem, how will more congestion on roads, more noise, traffic, pollution be anything but a hugely negative, backwards step?

Roads in this area are already far too busy, new housing developments will make this even worse. Schools are already oversubscribed; where will our children go to school? GP surgeries and Russel's Hall are already swamped; how will these services cope with hundreds of new patients?

The local residents who live in and love our area do not want these developments to take place. Listen to the people who live in these areas and please, do the moral, reasonable thing and use brownfield sites first
