Draft local plan proposals - open discussion Lighthall School 16/1/17
I understand that houses need to be built but more importantly to the residents of Majors Green, infrastructure ie. roads hopefully should be at the forefront of any further developments in our area. We live in Majors Green, already feeling the affect of the horrendous Dickens Heath traffic. It sometimes feels like the M25 and most of us have difficulty even getting off our drives.
My concern as mentioned, is Haslucks Green Road leading from Whitlocks End Train station to the Drawbridge Pub. Many accidents (including pedestrians) have occurred along this stretch over several years. More houses built along Tilehouse Lane and Tythe Barn Lane will mean more traffic along our road which will be unacceptable. This road is owned by Bromsgrove Council.
I would like an answer on the following point please:
a) Are there going to be other roads built diverting some of the traffic away from our road in Majors Green?
I look forward to receiving a full and proper answer rather than the one offered last night please.
PS. in my opinion, Dickens Heath will end up looking like one of the worst estates ever built. It is too big, too repetitive and spoils Solihull.
