I am very concerned about the amount of housing planned for the Shirley area at 39% of the total of the borough, this is not sustainable from an infrastructure or local services point of view Why is it not more evenly spread over the entire Solihull area, with more concentration by the HS2 interchange.

Shirley already has a large proportion of older residents and many retirement flats and care-homes to numerous to mention by name, which have been built everywhere on the Stratford road.

Our doctors surgery’s are already over capacity and are struggling to recruit new doctors.
Solihull Hospital has been down graded three times in as many years , it has put unsustainable pressure on our local surgeries, the whole infrastructure is ready to collapse.

With every new housing development in the area suffers from more flooding.
Flood defences are no where near adequate now, which is clear from Dickens Heath which has flooded despite been a relative new development with the climate getting wetter we will soon be unable to get house insurance.

Dickens Heath roads are already grid locked every morning, without the additional housing planned. New relief roads are needed, but sending the traffic onto already grid locked roads like Bills lane, should not be an option.
