Respondent: Paula Hackett
I have lived in Halesowen all my life, my father, grandfather and great grand father were born here and lived here all their lives. I am shocked that consideration is being given to development on any of the green belt surrounding Halesowen.
We are on the edge of the Black Country and as such our borders to open countryside should be protected at all costs. These beautiful areas are the lungs of the Black Country. Our community thrives on the ability to access such wonderful green areas, you only have to take a stroll locally and there are dog-walkers, runners, children, families all enjoying healthy time out. I regularly see great wildlife including 3 types of deer in the fields surrounding the Clent Hills.
Unlike other areas of the Dudley Borough, Halesowen does not have a park, we need easy access to local countryside, do not begin the destruction of our green belt.
