I am fully aware of the Governments proposals for housing developments in our region and would wish to comment as follows:-
Although road improvements have been undertaken over the 52 years that I have lived in Wall Heath, these are in no way sufficient to keep pace with the number of housing developments that have been carried out in this area. Added to this is the fact that most families now have two and even three cars per family which are endeavouring to use the same number of roads. In addition parents who both work use their cars to drop children outside schools so if you are unfortunate enough to live by these schools you are lucky if you can get off your drive at certain times of the day.
Hospital and GP services have also been severely impacted due to the increased number of residents now living in this area and this has been highlighted particularly during the pandemic.
Our green spaces are precious. What would we all have done if we could not have gone for walks during this horrible period.
Please do not build large numbers of houses around Wall Heath, Kingswinford, Wordsley and Stourbridge. Improve housing stock that already exists particularly local authority and housing association houses. Only build on brown field sites which is crying out for development.
LEAVE OUR GREENBELT ALONE.
