I wish to express 100% support for the CORBETT MEADOW, off Vicarage Road, Amblecote, being designated, in line with policy DSA4, a Local Green Space Designation (LGS) and, in line with policy ENV5, an Area of High Historic Landscape. Dudley Council is to be congratulated for realising that this is a unique and historical area of the landscape that needs protecting and saving for future generations. Amblecote has a very high population density and we need to protect these natural habitats, both so wildlife can survive in 'corridors' connected to the Coalbourne Brook and so that children growing up might be able to see small areas of natural environments and not be totally surrounded by tarmac and concrete. The Corbett Meadow needs protecting in its entirety; any attempt to 'chop it up' would destroy its fragile ecosystem for ever. It should also be preserved as a living testimony to John Corbett and his wish to improve the wellbeing of local people.
