Objection to Sharmans Cross Road Development

I am writing to object to the plans to build 100 houses on the site of the Solihull Arden Tennis Club on Sharmans Cross Road.

As a member of the tennis club and a parent whose children walk to school via this route everyday I strongly object due to the increase in the amount of traffic and my deep concerns for children's safety. Sharmans Cross Road especially by the entrance to the Squash Club is a terrible spot for traffic issues already - I walk past this every morning on my way to Sharmans Cross School. I really think not only will there be an increase in traffic but also a risk to pedestrians.

My children go to Sharmans Cross School which is already over subscribed, this is going to have a major effect on school places and their availability with local residents having to travel even further for schools (hence more increased traffic and pollution)

Such a terrible shame that a well loved sporting area is going to taken up by more houses and the local children are going to be put at risk with the increase of traffic.
