Services are already overstretched, doctor surgeries, dentists are full to capacity, even my vetinary surgery is full and not accepting any new patients. Hospital wait times are extremely high even before the pandemic.
I live close to the A449 which is extremely busy at all times, it is used as a race track through Wall Heath village, there are no traffic calming measures and there would be considerable more traffic through the village, more noise, more pollution, extra delays and congestion and more short cuts through residential roads to avoid traffic ques.
There is already no facilities in our area for children to use, no quality leisure facilities such as decent play parks for any age group what we do have is run down and badly maintained. Schools are full and notorious difficult to get places for local children, the problem will become worse with the extra families in the area. Possibility of building on green spaces to expand is great loss of green belt land, massive impact on wildlife and our environment. Green spaces are important for our wellbeing and mental health for young and old. Also the pollution having an impact on our area during construction polluting our air space and water table with chemicals. We have no cycle network or rail for commuters to use only roads for cars - pollution, pollution, pollution.
