South Shirley where i reside is part Blythe valley.

My family and l are GRAVELY concerned about the councils plans to build on the green belt land near our home.

The council is looking to build 38 percent of new housing stock on my doorstep - which will mean a HUGE increase in the number of cars on our already congested roads. where will always these extra cars go? Furthermore, we will exhaling all the fumes from these vehicles and the area's pollution will significantly increase,which may have a detrimental affect upon our health.

i already struggle to get a parking space at the train station and the trains are always FULL.

Our local schools are all full, where will all the new families school their children?

We will also use our local sports grounds, green land so our children can not play football and other sports locally...where will they go? ...will they be on the streets, fed up..committing crime?

l already wait weeks for a GP appointment, get more strain on our local resources which are already stretched meeting the demands of the current population.

The area is prone to flooding. we have seen significant flooding of new builds in dickens heath. will our homes

What we need and the way forward:

Please do not build on our local fields...please protect our wildlife and open spaces for future generations. it is criminal to build in this area!!!!

We have lovely open fields, which the local community use for recreational purposes promoting good mental health and active lifestyles, which helps people remain well and healthy. This area needs to be PROTECTED AND TURNED INTO A NATURE RESERVE TO PROTECT IT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.


we also require cycle lanes and improved public transport to improve our highly congested roads.
