Constituents from across Aldridge-Brownhills would be forgiven for not sharing the sentiments set out in the Black Country Plan where in Paragraph 4.6 it states:­
"The BCP adopts a brownfield-first approach to maximise delivery of development within the urban area".
As a community we are on the urban fringe of the West Midlands 'Metro' conurbation and I am still seeking to understand in the Borough of Walsall the extent to which that policy has been put into practice.
Furthermore in the same paragraph the authors of the Plan undermine their opening statement by declaring:­ "however, poor ground conditions are a legacy of the Black Country's mining and industrial past are a significant constraint, in both physical and financial terms". This assertion must be challenged.
