I would like to take this opportunity to inform you as my M.P for my area that the growing fears and anxieties from many local residents Of Newby Grove and surrounding areas.
Near to our properties there is a piece of land where Solihull Council is seeking to sell to developers to build houses.
I would suggest many local residents would seek your intervention on this subject and any small open green spaces being built on for future ghettos.
There are many issues, listed here is a few.
1. The removal of the covenant on the said piece of land adjacent to Newby Grove was done without consultation with local residents.
2. Chelmsley Wood estate concept was designed with pockets of green space for communities to enjoy, to avoid the failures of the 30s and 40s.
3. Many families moved from inner cities for a better environment.
4. In a time when we are encouraged to get outdoors and encourage our children from computers and enjoy the outside to play and socialise, we risk losing anywhere to go, as this is the only area without crossing busy road
