I am writing to object to the proposed plan to build 1496 new houses on greenbelt land. This land is to ensure urban spread is contained, and the fact it is being considered for building is against every principle of why it was designated Greenbelt in the first instance. It is also deplorable that the land is under South Staffs, and they will be taking rates from the residents, but Wolverhampton will be providing the facilities for them to us, i.e. schools, doctors, dentists etc. All of which are full at this time without adding any other numbers! In stating the above the traffic currently through the Merry Hill centre at school times is terrible, the roads bearly cope as they are, let alone with additional traffic, I cannot see how this can be improved. There is already an accident waiting to happen and may involve school children as there are four schools feeding into the centre at this time.
To allow the building of these houses would be irresponsible, it is Greenbelt!,
