The Trainagle - BCP Site Ref DUH 211 page 371, DSA 2 page 424-428

With particular reference to DUH 211 p 371 (The Triangle) I am very concerned about the development of the green belt sites for a number of different reasons.
1. Greenbelt land is to stop the sprawl of large built up areas. Dudley has little Greenbelt land & this development erodes this even more. Dudley is an urban area, the greenbelt gives it residents a chance to walk in inspiring mental relaxing areas.
2. Greenbelt land is to stop the sprawl of large built up areas, with the development of these sites - The Triangle, Holbeache, we are getting closer to Wombourne, especially with the development of Himley Meadows.
3. Himley Meadows, the triangle and Holbeache developments will result in even more pressure on Dudley Council & amenities. Dudley Council already struggles to provide enough doctors, schools, shops, hospitals & household tips. Local services such as bin collections already struggles - our street is often missed off on our dedicated day. Who knows what will happen after development.
4. Transport is a major issue. There is no good infrastructure. It takes 20 to 40 minutes to travel from Kingswinford to Dudley in a morning. More traffic will increase the problem.
5. Lodge Lane is a traffic calming road because of the traffic & the school, more traffic & entrances/exits to the new estate will cause more incidents for the students. Their safety must be a concern to the councillors/Dudley. By being a calming traffic zone means they are already concerned about this.
