Draft Black Country Plan

Representation ID: 22045

Received: 11/10/2021

Respondent: Ms Jan Norton

Representation Summary:

I have seen no impact assessment regarding equality issues, in particular, considering the needs of people in poverty (BCP, 5.10), unemployed adults, children, young people and families, the elderly and people with mobility issues or disabilities and other vulnerable people who struggle to obtain housing which meets their needs. (BCP, 3.74 Strategic Priority – housing that meets all our needs)

Was there an offer to support people with physical problems, for example, visual problems to access the information they needed?

Has anyone, as part of this process, checked out the needs of the most vulnerable in our society, for example, elderly people living along in what was a family home; homeless people; refugees; former prisoners?

Has there been any feedback from children regarding informal green spaces which might inform us of the benefits from their perspectives?
