I object to the green field residential development of two sites in Kingswinford, south of Holbeache Lane and The Triangle between the A449, Lodge Lane and Swindon Road. There is not enough doctors or dentists facilities nearby and the local hospitals are full and overflowing already.
The A449 is a very busy main road and is overloaded already as it is the main north to south route on the western side of the West Midlands. if more local traffic is going to be using it, the side roads will become a rat race and / or short cut, leading to potential injury for existing local residents.
There are queues and tailbacks already without any more residents, causing high C02 emissions and poor air quality on the A449 due to congestion in Wall Heat's two small 'islands' (have you seen the queues on Stollings Lane / A491 during peak periods?) - any more traffic will create gridlock in the area, including Kingswinford, A491 to Stourbridge and beyond. Wall Heath and Kingswinford residents will have more of a problem with schools, new houses near Summerhill School will effectively stop Wall Heath children getting a place there, the Holbeache proposal will magnify this issue.
