I am writing with regard to the new houses planned for Tidbury Green/Dickens Heath,Solihull. I have lived in Majors Green for over 75 years so I have seen it grow from a small village to what it is today and very little has been done to the roads in the area. With all the extra houses these roads will never cope with the amount of traffic and there is no public transport - only a bus every hour and to get to Shirley or Solihull it takes over 20 minutes to do a 5 minute journey if you use this bus. Therefore there is no encouragement for people to leave their cars at home! The amount of traffic using the drawbridge is tremendous and I have seen cars queuing back to Haslucks Green Road and that is during the winter so during the summer it would be a major issue. Haslucks Green Road is already a notorious accident spot. All the roads in the area are not wide enough to take the traffic, especially roads like Drawbridge Road where cars frequently mount the pavement.
I went to Asda to one of your consultation meetings. I felt the people there were not very informative and could not answer many questions being asked. One of which was: 'had Bromsgrove been consulted?' as you will appreciate that some of the area which will be involved is in Bromsgrove.
I hope some of these points will receive serious consideration in your plan. I would finally like to draw your attention to the sewerage pumping station in Tythe Barn lane and whether it is capable of taking the waste for all these developments you are planning
