New builds oppisite Aldi in K.ford.
New builds planned for Male & Sons. New build's on what was working mens club.
New build's on Victoria Street.

2nd
Road's. How are they going to cope?? Corbyns Hall rd/lane already a racetrack/cut through at the best of times with Sainsbury's car park to small. Parking on side roads making lane a nightmare at busy times. Corbyns Hall road a main cut through road often a dangerous nightmere with double parking due to lack of private drives.

3rd
How are G.P's, hospitals going to cope. We have already lost High Oak so now we don't have a doctors within area. Schools are full to bursting already Crestwood being but one, think it was quoted that they are up to 230 children extra last year.

4th
The stress of all the works that are going to have on residents. Many people are of the "older age bracket" who live within the drive, how will the health and well being stand up with all the noise, disruption, mess of the planned new build, not well i would think. And the pollution is going to be so bad for all.

5th
The government are trying to encourage children from indoor's television/games to exercise to save on risk of being over weight.
What are they supposed to do if you are closing youth centres, taking away green space, so they can safely play, entertain themselves. The risk of higher crimes rates are more likely to rise, down to lack of things to be able to do. The green on Severn Drive is well known for dog walkers and people just walking and meeting/socialising aswell as the wildlife. What will happen when they are disrupted.
