Comments on aspects of Black Country Plan Review in Reedswood
I am aghast at the plans to allow building on part of the 'green lungs' in this area, by and close to the M6, one of the busiest stretches of motorway in the country. Trees are of course vital in both screening and absorbing high levels of air pollution and noise in Reedswood. The proposal to allow the destruction of the trees along the M6 corridor bordering Churchill Road and on the Pouk Hill public open space, as well as in nearby Reedswood Park is indeed breathtaking and utterly unacceptable. This is a densely developed residential area and the plan must surely take in to account the health and well being of people living here?
