Object to new housing sites in Shirley as there is inadequate infrastructure, with the roads in the area, especially Haslucks Green Road gridlocked for much of the day, medical practices at breaking point with delays in appointments, and schools oversubscribed and children having to travel further from home. Should use brownfield rather than green field sites or ensure infrastructure is right before any development.
Opposition to development on green belt in Shirley (specifically area 13)
I object to the building of new housing developments in Shirley and most specifically area 13. The roads around Shirley especially Haslucks Green Road (on which I live) are gridlocked for a large part of the day, GP services (in which I work) are at breaking point with wait times for a routine appointment at 2 weeks. Decent schools are over subscribed with local kids being forced to travel further from home ( contributing to the road issues) . Why not use brownfield sites or failing that get the infrastructure right first THEN the houses
