I support Dudley Council in its proposal to protect the greenbelt at Halesowen (Illey, Lapal, Uffmoor, Hayley Green, Coombeswood), Lutley, and Foxcote.

These areas provide a splendid view from my house and I would not like this to change as it is an escape from stress. It has proved itself invaluable during the Covid crisis and they are important for mental well being, breathing oxygen into the atmosphere and absorbing CO2.

It is appreciated that the footpaths were restored and way marked in countryside improvement projects, to encourage public use and enjoyment. This countryside perfectly integrates into North Worcestershire and provides the foreground to the Clent Hills, historic Hagley Park and various villages.
