I moved into Aldridge from Rushall [Redacted- sensitive information] I have noticed since that time the decline in quality of life yes it is a lovely part of Walsall to live and unfortunately this seems to make it the go to place to build at the expense of the residents my objections are in no particular order
- an extensive amount of green space has gone over the years reducing places for children to play and wildlife to be
- The infrastructure is so congested it is very difficult to move around. Aldridge is bumper to Bumper traffic most times of the day
- Morrison's for much longer than the current situation was approved has had empty shells and Sir are too many people trying to shop shops won't cope with more people please don't build these too
- how will gp's schools dentists cope
- I am worried about the effects of car fumes etc due to the amount of traffic. I don't go out during school hours as it is So difficult to get out of Aldridge
- the community I believe in the main are extremely upset and angry about this
By building in Aldridge you are not addressing the inequalities in the rest of the borough the town centre lots of Bloxwich, Darlaston etc have lots of deprivation if there is a new build then build these luxury family developments there. Put more money into those areas change the balance of the population give them a chance to see their areas improve. also more footfall to shops
- you are keeping the haves and have nots in the borough
- Look for more black sites to build it might be more expensive to make safe but worth it in the long run
- I don't believe for a second this is being done for the good of residents but is a decision made on greed this will be terrible for residents the only interest is money for developers.
- The builds in other areas of the borough are tokenistic we might look like we have a lot of green, empty land but this is being used
- local councillors do not support this
