I am very concerned about the proposed Calderfields housing development:
Not only would the habitat of thousands of animals be destroyed, the surrounding roads / junctions would not be able to take the additional traffic. It would be chaos.
This morning I walked through the Arboretum. The jewel of Walsall. Please do not spoil its outlook by building hundreds of homes on the greenbelt! My walk took me on to Lichfield Street, past the Town Hall and into the Old Square and then along Lower Hall Lane. All along this route I saw dozens of disused retail units and buildings falling into disrepair. I was told last week at a drop in session at the Town Hall, that there isn't enough brownfield sites in Walsall... How can this possibly be when the Town Centre is crying out for rejuvenation.
