The infrastructure required has not been adequately addressed in relation to the sites in Shirley South. The current infrastructure cannot support this amount of development. The road infrastructure is inadequate and there are no alternative routes that could be built to relieve the situation. Additional development roads would only funnel more traffic into an already overburdened system. The existing arterial roads of Haslucks Green Road, Tamworth Lane, Dog Kennel Lane and Stratford Road cannot be effectively improved.

The NHS is also under severe strain and there are limits to how much GPs can expand, especially in the area around Shirley. Also Solihull hospital has been downgraded over the years, no longer has a paediatric department, resulting in Shirley residents having to utilise Heartlands hospital. Travelling to Heartlands is already becoming untenable, the increase in residents to this degree in Shirley South will only exacerbate the problem.
