I object most strongly to the prospect of having the little bit of open space available to the South Shirley residents taken away from us.
I object to having more and more cars spewing out pollution along Tanworth Lane and the surrounding roads at peak times when it becomes almost a car park as the traffic that comes from the Dickens Heath area prevents flow of any other traffic and it would be insane to knowingly increase this further with all of the knowledge we have about potential health hazards this causes.
I object to the strain upon the local schools, primary and secondary, GP practices, parking at stations and continued congestion all around the main A34
2,500 houses represent a conservative estimate of 4,000 more cars
