This area does not require any further housing development. More housing and more people living in this area will have a detrimental effect on the people and services which are already here and already under strain. Local services are already stretched. Our local hospital trust (Dudley Group) has lengthy waiting lists and GP surgeries are struggling with the number of patients they already have on their books. More houses will inevitable mean more cars on the road and this is already a problem, especially on the morning and evening commute. Traffic will be queuing and emissions will increase. Our local small roads will become 'short cuts' for people to try and avoid jams.

Our greenbelt land is very important. It can have a positive effect on the mental health and well being of the residents who live here. This has been especially true during these difficult covid times. We cannot afford to lose this valuable asset. The countryside around our area will be adversely affected by the building of more houses. Air and noise pollution will increase and the general health of the population will decrease.
