I feel that the Council should not build homes on the areas indicated on the leaflet provided. Wherever possible housing should be built as close to the city centres, I know this may be some high rise building.

By building more and more homes outside the inner city centre areas will only make the situation worse. Homes built in areas outside the town only leads to the death of the city centre (no M&S, BHS and possibly Debenhams) in the future means no need to go to Walsall. Also look at the death of the once thriving Walsall Market, all due to people preferring to travel to the out of town shopping centres, causing more longer journeys and pollution.

"Reconsider building more good homes, towards the city centre."
