Representation ID: 10839

Received: 13/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Jennifer Fearn

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

It's acknowledge Stratford Rd has high levels of thru traffic and congestion. Yet almost 600 units are currently being built or planned for aged retired people along this road. Where are the children from the families in these new homes going to School? Currently parents of children attending Shirley Heath Juniors and Woodlands Infants are challenged by the Stratford Road hazard. Increasing distance children and parents have to travel increase car travel and creates parking nuisance to residents close to Schools. This concentration excludes existing retirement properties in Shirley, focusses need for increased health care, denies equal access to NHS

Change suggested by respondent:

More equal distribution across the borough for retirement and care units.
