Site Assessment-SA0078-WAL Calderfields.

I have spent most of my life living in the countryside or by the coast am new to the Walsall area. I am quite happy to be living in a built up area but love the pockets of green space that exists from alongside the canals, to the arboretum to the fields and parks that exist.

PLEASE do NOT destroy the few green spaces that still exist in this very built up area. They are valuable to the residents who live here and to the wildlife that lives in it. Once the green space is destroyed it will never be returned. Use the brownfield sites that exist or convert derelict buildings for the housing that is needed.

The Calderfields field that runs alongside the arboretum is a delight. I and many others love seeing the open space and the animals that graze in there
