I am writing to object to the proposals to build on Halesowen's greenbelt land and I fully support the above campaign.

The road infrastructure around Halesowen is currently wholly inadequate. During the rush hour I take longer to get into and out of Halesowen town centre than travelling to North Birmingham. The traffic jams surrounding Mucklow Hill, Manor Way are unacceptable. The efforts to create a better flow of traffic at the island at the Manor way, Grange Road interchange have dramatically failed after several attempts and the thought of creating more traffic to access new housing estates in this area is well beyond reason.

The social housing which is needed will not work on the greenbelt land as this area will command a premium value that first time buyers will be unable to afford.
