Representation ID: 13199

Received: 08/10/2021

Respondent: Mrs Jean George

Representation Summary:

Calderfields, Aldridge - 442 homes
The infrastructure will not support this increase in the number of homes to be built on this site.
There are no schools in the immediate vicinity.
The current road system is inadequate and there are already "rat runs" through the estates to reach Walsall. The increase in traffic can only add to this problem.
With the town centre no longer being viable or fit for purpose, more consideration should be given to converting shops/ offices into affordable housing.
Although green belt is out of fashion, it will be a sad day to see this area built over. It has added to the enjoyable greenspace we have all enjoyed during the period of pandemic
