I am very concerned about the amount of housing planned for the Shirley area. more than 39% this is not sustainable. 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, retirement flats to numerous to mention by name, have been built everywhere in Shirley with large complexes on the Stratford road.

Our doctors surgery’s are already over capacity and are struggling to recruit new doctors. With the continual downgrading of Solihull Hospitalpsp, it has put unsustainable pressure on our local surgeries, the whole infrastructure is ready to collapse.

Shirley is part of the Blythe valley villages. Yes this is a valley. With every new housing development the area suffers from more flooding. Flood defences are no where near adequate now, 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, should not be an option.
