We have been residents of Halesowen for years and own a local business employing staff. The main reason we chose our home location was the proximity to beautiful countryside in the area alongside the A 456 Halesowen Bypass with access and views of Clent and Romsley.
This countryside is sacred, historic and a valuable amenity. If it were developed then we would certainly leave the area as there is little else to be said in its favour. Halesowen has deteriorated over the years we have lived there. Development should surely first take place in the many brown-field areas that are currently dilapidated. There are also many areas of undeveloped land.
