Representation Summary:

[Smestow Valley]

I have lived in Finchfield for over [x] years, and find it a very positive place to live, whith a big green spaces on Smestow Nature Reserve (Valley) giving us, residents places to walk, and stay close to the nature, which is a very important part in my life as well as anybody else. In my opinion the city suffers enough of lack of unique like this one places, and any development project will be deeply damaging for the area and for its residents. It will significantly increase traffic, noise and disturbance, and will cause more harmful for environment and people air pollution, which is already alarmingly high in this city. We should protect any left green spaces, instead of planning to overtake them with more concrete buildings. There are many waste and haunted lands in and around the city, where development projects could be considered, and would create a better look and vision for the future of Wolverhampton. Green spaces are extremely important for humans wellbeing, and should be treated as untouchable. Therefore I strongly object against building new houses in so needed Smestow Valley.
