I object to using the greenbelt for any purpose such as building houses, building industrial centres / shopping malls.

The effect on local services will be catastrophic, the NHS, Russells Hall hospital and local GPs are already unable to cope with the demands of the current population. Roads and transport are already gridlocked. High volumes of traffic are already encountered. Causing stress, noise and air pollution. Traffic already uses the local estate roads as shorts cuts and unfortunately this will result in a fatality. The speed at which motorists use Dubarry Avenue, (right outside the school is shocking).
Education facilities are already full to bursting point. Local amenities are stretched or non existent, eg Parks, youth and community facilities, sports facilities. Loss of green belt will affect the physical and mental well being of residents and the community. There will be a reduction in biodiversity, grazing land, agricultural land as well as reducing the wildlife corridor even further.

Once the greenbelt is gone it will be gone forever. future generations will not have a choice. DO NOT BUILD ON THE GREEN BELT.
