There are lots of reasons why Dudley should not be building on green spaces or green belt.

Informal green spaces are precious areas in which our children can play, especially if they are not near a park. If we are going to support our children to become healthy adults, it is key that they have opportunities to exercise both in and out of school. These spaces also support adults taking exercise and are positive for everyone’s mental health and wellbeing.

My concern is that once green belt land is developed, it will be followed by more and more erosion of green belt I am also concerned about the potential erosion of the Boroughs precious other green spaces.
