May I first of all put on record that I fully support the Sandwell Council's decision in NOT including the developer's proposal to build houses on Peak House Farm (Wilderness Lane) site.
This is a very desirable part of the world to reside but it is becoming more unpleasant by the day and to build houses on this site would be a disaster for the area and local amenities. The traffic in the area is becoming a nightmare by the day, the vehicles in the area is becoming intolerable with some houses having anything up to 5 vehicles per household and to build more houses in the area would only exacerbate the situation.
Peak House Road is becoming a race track for some vehicle users and very soon I feel there is going to be a serious accident. The traffic at sometimes of the day is very heavy and I feel to make it worse would be trouble. The volume of traffic at Scott Arms is getting worse and any further houses in the area would only add to the misery of getting around not to mention the problems of overcrowding of schools and the problems of getting appointments with local doctor.
Again I can only say that I support the council's decision and I hope and pray that this is not changed in order for the developers to make a handsome profit at the expense of our quality of life. SAVE GREAT BARRS GREEN BELT.
