First and foremost the infrastructure and flooding situation in Dickens Heath is already a massive issue, without adding more homes.
The sports fields are well used and an integral feature of the existing community and beyond. We don't have an adequate play area for children. The loss of any of these club sites will be felt.
It's all very well building a new primary school but what secondary schools will be able to facilitate the increased numbers of students. People have brought houses in the area so that their children are within the catchment of specific secondary schools.

SOlihull Council states in its policies that it provides equal provisions for its young residents across the borough. We don't have a suitable play area, now the sports fields are threatened. Any new facilities being suggested are being squashed into other spaces-one of which is being crammed into an already tiny school (with its own road issues) Yet more housing, which will bring more children are being encouraged to a "family" area which is st risk of just becoming one giant housing estate with nothing or no where for the youth to go.
