Over the past 20 years I have seen a marked increase in traffic in Birchills and have unfortunately seen many road traffic accidents, one of which involved a speeding car crashing [Redacted-GDPR]. We are close to junction 10 of the M6 and not only do we hear the traffic but we, as are all residents in this part of Walsall, are subject to air pollution 24/7. Reedswood Park has been well managed over the years I have lived here and now has a large natural area of trees that are well established and able to counter some of the air pollution that is detrimental to our health.


A natural green space buffer/ green lung is essential to counter the pollution coming from the M6: Pouk Hill and the land bordering Churchill Road along with Reedswood Park, provides this.
