I am deeply concerned about several Staffordshire plans to build large housing estates on our border. I realise the ability of the Black Country’s Combined Authority to alter these plans, is limited but I hope that it is raising our concerns. As everyone knows, once one housing project is allowed on greenbelt land, others follow. Once this land is sold for building, it never comes back into the greenbelt for children and local people to enjoy. Our greenbelt area is the most valuable asset we have in the Black Country for the simple reason it saves lives and keeps people out of hospital.
