Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed building works on Lapwood Avenue open space BCP REF DUH213. Reasons are many: mainly it is the only open space serving the surrounding Crestwood Park estate. Concentration of housing is already stretched to the limit and the traffic situation onto Lapwood avenue can only get worse. The schools are full to capacity, doctors surgeries scarce and the local Russell's hospital finding it difficult to cope with current cases let alone new ones. The field is used by local families for picnicking and open air local walks. The same situation applies to Ketley Quarry (policy DSA3). It is totally unsuitable from all residents points of view to rehouse at least 600 families and singles in that area. Again causing traffic problems on Crestwood Park and Dudley rd/ Ploverdale. Schools will not be adequate,/ nor doctors surgeries/ hospital and the air pollution will only increase causing more health problems. Also local wildlife will be at risk.
