Charlemont Community Centre (SAH225)

• The existing Charlemont Community Centre has been allocated as a housing site, albeit only for a single unit. It is unclear if this unit would be related to a single residential development or a development of flatted residential units.
• A flatted development would add additional strain to public services. Those exact services may be
reduced to the loss of potential outreach services that could be based at the community centre.
• The centre is situated within a wider housing estate with a high concentration of families and individuals with complex needs. Targeted community intervention in areas such as Charlemont are of deep importance to residents.
• This centre is currently dramatically underused. Sandwell Council should focus its efforts on
maximising the usage of this location to provide vital services to improve people' s quality of life, rather than unnecessari1y add to the strain on public services in this area.

• Please find enclosed a petition of 311 signatures requesting the removal of Charlemont Community
Centre from the Draft Plan.
