Respondent: Mrs Lisa Cooper

Representation Summary:

We cannot afford an increase in population in this area, I work for the local NHS and it is at breaking point already. Please consider waiting times (GP, Accident and emergency, in-patients and out-patients appointments) the impact of this on our communities health and well being.... r> Our current infrastructure is congested, higher emissions and increased CO2 will have an impact on our environment and the health of current residents another strain on the NHS
Has consideration been given to the impact on local education, September 2021 the only secondary school with places for year 7 was Wordsley School most other school years were full.
A huge concern for me as a mental health professional is the loss of green belt land. Brownfield sites should be used first surely. Loss of wildlife, bees, butterflies would have a detrimental affect on our environment and the mental health of our resident, yet another impact on our NHS.
