WAH 242 & WAH 233 etc
As a local resident and regular user of Walsall's premier park the wonderfull Arboretum, and also a regular walker in the surrounding countryside and canalside. I strongly object to the proposal to destroy this Green Belt land that we are so lucky, as urban fold to enjoy on our doorstep. I t is so vital to protect these green spaces for our mental and physical wellbeing, and how would we have survived the last eighteen months without them!
The design of the proposals WAH242 & WAH233 would cause a fragmentation in the precious Green Belt and would destroy the wildlife corridors which support so much diverse wildlife - many birds which are listed on the RSPB red list, and destroy the hedgerow network.
What happened to the 'Brownfield first' policy
