Currently our road is a deadend and has minimum traffic apart from people visiting the Arboretum which ensures that the residents have minimum disruption and problems with traffic. If this development goes ahead then if Buchanan Rd is used to gain vehicular access out road will become a "ratrun" for traffic to cut through and cause disruption to the residents.

Currently we have the situation of having Arboretum Park on one side and open space and Calderfields Golf Course, which gives us a feeling of lining in open space and landscape and contributes to the space around our historical flagship park.

The traffic coming off Buchanan Rd and the estate around Cameron Rd already is very busy and causes bottlenecks at the roundabout of Mellish Rd and Lichfield St and can take upto 15 mins to get onto the main roads mentioned. Any additional housing will cause pressure on the infrastructure and generate traffic. We will end up with a situation like the traffic coming in from Sutton Rd to Walsall where it can take an hour to get into Walsall.

Residents will have a loss of privacy and our residential amenity will be affected by this type of overdevelopment of greenbelt land.
