Representation Summary:

I would like to object to the BCP recommendations in Kingswinford Area .
The Lodge Lane triangle borders my ward in Kingswinford South it is a beautiful area of greenland on entering DMBC from the A449,it gives a feeling of being in the country It is a long-established part of Kingswinford which has always been green and considered a focal point of the area

The other main comment is the lack of infrastructure ,roads are full of traffic 7 days a week it is virtually impossible to get to anywhere quickly a 4 mile drive to Stourbridge or 5 mile trip to Dudley can regularly take up to an hour even out of rush hour

The Ketley Quarry Site is what should be the land we should build upon this is a proper brownfield site .The schools ,doctors and other health sites are already stretched due to the amount of people wanting to use them
I moved to Kingswinford {x} years ago and the changes have been tremendous with housing estates being built losing our green sites and maybe Kingswinford is full and we should look elsewhere for brownfield sites of which there are many in DMBC to build
