One of the keys things highlighted by the recent COVID pandemic has been the huge benefit of green spaces to the physical and mental health of Dudley Borough residents. To even consider building on such green belt sites such as the Lodge Lane/Swindon Road triangle in Wall Heath/Kingswinford and the fields at Holbeache would seem to be nonsensical at the very least. Such developments would swamp existing infrastructures and increase traffic to a point which would cause major issues in terms of volume and pollution. We need to protect the green lungs of the borough not destroy them.

The Black Country is blighted by empty and non-commercial high streets which, with more creative thinking, could be adapted to bring in smart residential units linking in with such things as the new metro extensions. Not only would town centres benefit from increased footfall but there would be a massive community benefit in having more affordable housing based within walking distance of public transport facilities for commuting to larger commercial centres such as Birmingham. The major focus must be on these types of integrated schemes to reduce carbon emissions and increase a sense of well being rather than taking the easy way out through increased greenbelt destruction
