Good evening

I am writing to say that the plans to build and continue building homes and over 60’s schemes in around Shirley is very concerning. Shirley is already a very congested village with so many people using doctors and dentist and other facilities, you generally have to spend 15 minutes on the phone in a queue just to speak to a doctors reception.

The roads too are busy and if you try to go anywhere around school times you might as well forget it as there are so many cars and huge buses crawling along, never mind parents sitting in their cars with engines running for 15-30 minutes before they collect their children.

We don’t have an A&E anymore which is really concerning with the increasing number of residents and the very poor state of Heartlands A&E, never mind the distance to get there.

The most concerning is the effect on the environment, and the animals and trees and land that they sit on. Our eco system is already stretched and to offer planting a few trees when lots of mature ones are slashed down is disgusting. It’s the animals that suffer at our hands.

Please don’t keep building on spare bits of land, there’s barely anywhere for nature to go and they were here long before humans arrived and decided they should do what they wish.
