I am referring to the two sites of Home Farm Sandhills and Queslett Rd East/ Aldridge Road which I believe both come under the jurisdiction of Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council. With regard to the Queslett Rd. East site, has much thought been given to the shortage of doctors surgeries in the area? We are forced to wait - sometimes up to two weeks for an appointment, where are all these proposed families to obtain medical attention? Also the schools seem to be at full capacity bearing in mind they have already had substantial extensions built to house present students.
Lastly the amount of further traffic congestion on the Chester Road and the Queslett Rd / Aldridge Road would in my opinion be horrendous.
I think there must be numerous brownfield sites in the area that should be utilised first if only to enhance this (at the moment) green area to live in.
