41% of the Solihull housing allocation is being built in Shirley South the real need for housing is along the HS2 route.

The infrastructure to get across the borough and to the centre of Birmingham will not support the increased demand for the expected new residents as a result of HS2.

The allocation of 2000 houses from Birmingham should not be built in Solihull until Birmingham has developed all of its brownfield sites.

There are around 9 football and rugby grounds that will disappear around Shirley South.

The council should be thinking about innovative ways to look at finding space, such as multi storey are parks at the nec and using the saved space for housing.

There is only one amenity area in Shirley, Shirley Park, This has already been developed.
