As residents of Majors Green, adjacent to the Solihull border, we are very concerned about the lack of
thought in connection with infrastructure, roads and pathways, with the council's new housing plans.

As long standing residents we have had to deal with the vast increase in traffic due to the way the village of Dickens Heath has been designed. The roads through DH village are narrow and in one case obstructed, so that cars are directed from Shirley, through Majors Green. This is also compounded by the increase in parking facilities at Whitlocks End Station,
again in Solihull!.

Worcester Council have done their best to make the road less hazardous, but they were not designed for the amount of traffic which will increase again with the new houses that are planned to be built in Solihull.

We understand that new housing is needed but surely it is important to think of the road situation as well. More houses mean more cars, therefore surely we need better infrastructure in both roads and pathways before we build the homes that will again increase the traffic flow with the prospect for us, of more accidents!

Concerned Majors Green Resident.

I am a concerned resident of Haslucks Green Road, Majors Green.
We have lived here for 40 years and have seen the traffic increase bringing
numerous accidents on our area of the road.

We understand that housing is needed but what has not been mentioned is whether you will be looking at improving the road and pavement system as well.

Majors Green is in Worcestershire, and we have been working with the W.C.C. on road improvements, but we are seriously affected by the increase in traffic brought about by Dickens Heath Village and the increased parking facilities at Whitlocks End Station.

The area has very narrow roads and we see many near misses on the bend by the station. Many of the path ways are unlit and overgrown so it is difficult and scary to walk them in the winter.

New Housing brings more traffic and pedestrians to the area so I am hoping that road and pavement structure is also being talked about when planning permission is discussed.
