Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 15041

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Samantha Flynn

Representation Summary:

Queslett Road East/Aldridge Road & Sutton Road/Longwood Lane.

One of the nicest things about living where we do is that we are 5 mins from the Country & 20 mins from the towns. We a close to nature wildlife, beautiful open spaces. The area where we we live is great to bring up children, lots of open spaces for them to explore. Why are you trying to take this away? The reasons in the booklet are not enough. Why are you trying to cram us in like sardines? Andy Street promised he would protect the green belt land, the wide open spaces, he built his campaign on this, but he's letting it go, its a disgrace.
The schools in the area are already full to capacity, what schools will they go to? this will inpact people across all areas as children get pushed further & further out.
Traffic, adding these houses will make this area like a city, motorists already use it to cut through from different areas because of how close we are to the motorway. There are pockets of areas on the estate where traffic is high (Asda, Queslett for example) and these houses will make these matters on our busy road, frankly horrific. Where is increased this will obviously increase accidents, not only for motorists, but pedestrians to.
I would urge you to re-think your Black Country Plan & the effect it will have. Many many residents feel like this and its all in aid of quality of life for ourselves, our children & the their children. Please do not built these houses.
