I have just read the Draft Plan Consultation 16 AUGUST-11 OCTOBER 2021.W.B.summary. As a very recent resident of Little Bloxwich, I was astounded to read that Greenbelt land was under review for development i.e. house buildings e.t.c. My husband and I have been residents of both Wednesfield and Willenhall,We have seen the positive effect of regeneration in Wednesfield. New homes on disused schools and factories and Bentley Bridge. Six years ago we moved from Wednesfield to a New build home in Willenhall, built on a brownfield site. Willenhall has numerous such sites prime for redevelopment, Willenhall is trying to reguvenate and remove empty buildings and untidy unused land. As with Wednesfield the residents and local business want redevelopment. Why is Willenhall being ignored by the council, it can become a popular town as has happened in Wednesfield. Much needed housing with up and running transport systems is already in place and other amenities.
Why did we move, As my husband and I have both now retired we no longer have to be in walking distance to our places of work etc and feel after a good 50 years of full time work we deserve a quieter lifestyle. We have been amazed in the short time we have resided here at the abundance of wildlife on our doorstep, squirrels, foxes rabbits and deer, nesting birds etc. All this will sadly disappear when the greenbelt (cherished greenbelt) is developed. Fumes, building work are not conclusive to happy wild life
