Home Farm - Sandhills

My husband and I object most strongly to the development at Home Farm, Sandhills. Our main concern is that of highway safety. The Lichfield Road (Sandhills) is already heavy with traffic especially as rush hour when traffic is reduced to a crawl on most days. Adding to this already busy road will endanger lives! On most occasions it can take us 10 minutes just to pull off our drives. How will building 800 homes eleviate this issue? Most accidents will happen!
We should be looking at recycling derelict housing, of which there are plenty in and around the Walsall Borough, and building on brownfield sites - NOT Greenfield sites. Greenfield sites help with our mental health thus not putting an extra burden on our already stretched NHS!
We must protect our flora and fauna at all costs. What hope is there for the next generations to come? We are privileged to be able to see , foxes, squirrels and rabbits to name a few but will they?
HANDS OFF OUR GREEN FIELDS!
