- Much better and more infrastructure and facilities will be required if the plans go ahead (ie not just considered!)
- Better walking routes to the station are great (and needed) however people still want to drive and so more space at the station is required.
- Lots of people live in the area due to the free parking and easy access to Birmingham - more needs to be done if these plans are to be considered
Traffic in Dickens Heath is a nightmare already - it can take 20 minutes to leave the village at rush hour. None of the requirements set out how the obvious increase in traffic is going to be addressed.
Whitlock end train station car park is already before 8am on a weekday. There are not comments adding additional car parking spaces.
Trains are standing room only at peak times. How is this going to be addressed.
The additional classroom intake at Tidbury Green school is to accommodate the circa 500 houses that are currently being built in Tidbury Green. You cannot double count this! Even more classrooms will be required in the area.

The current plans show a reduction in the number of sports pitches/fields.
