Each morning I pick up my Grandsons. First I wait several minutes to pull out of my driveway, into the traffic and drive towards the duel carridgeway and Calderfields. I usually join a long cue of traffic from the Dilke pub and most days I sit there a good 10 minutes to get over Longwood bridge and turn into Longwood Lane. All good untill Hayhead Farm then guess what another cue of traffic, this one 5-10 minutes long. I turn into Sutton Road, pick up the boys and back along Longwood Lane to join the cue again at the Pegeot Garage island, then move at a snails pace all along to Aldridge.
By building 442 homes as Calderfields Aldridge Road and 202 homes at Sutton Road/ Longwood Lane how much more traffic will be introduced from all this new housing. Bare in mind that these days each household has at lease 2 cars on the drive. This increase in the number of cars on just these 3 roads will further damage our environment for our future generations.
Also by cutting into the green belt what happens to the birds and wildlife, soon there will be no countryside left for us all to enjoy. Look around Walsall there are plenty of other spaces suitable for more affordable housing, without bringing down the value of the housing in these desirable residential areas.
