Representation Summary:

Hello
I would like to make my support known for the Council's descion to protect the
Halesowen greenbelt from development.
Not only has the discovery of some of this land in lockdown helped me with my
mental health , but my physical helath too, as I've walked some of the paths through
it.
Just to walk and see the changing of the seasons , the wildlife and be way from the
city and urban sprawl has been wonderful.
I commend the Councillors and Mr Morris MP for the desire to preserve it. It also acts
as a vital green lung, counter balancing the amount of traffic from the nearby M5 and
Manor Way.
Just the thought of adding more development and traffic to an already clogged up
area would be very alarming.
I hope the Council continues to fight any developement on this precious resource the
public has, but for the moment once again well done in your efforts to keep
developent off it in your Black Country plan.
