Representation Summary:

I object to the use of the greenbelt land and parks being identified for future housing and development.
On many different levels this is wrong.
1. At a time when green issues/the environment is so crucial for our future.
2. Parks, in particular Reedswood Park was given to Walsall by the Earl of Bradford in late 1800's.

It is important to families as a place to go, free of charge within walking distance. A day out, a picnic, a walk for friends and family.
It was an essential part of growing up for me. It has already lost a swimming pool, tennis courts and green bowls area. Leave the park alone. Families with no gardens need it as a vital and essential part of family life.
