LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 245
I DEMAND that the 2013 all Party Policy on the Rugby Ground on
maintaining the Sports Ground Covenant and not selling the Freehold to be
retained. To my mind it is sheer madness to allow this to happen. The
Sports Grounds are one of the green Lungs of our Community along with
the Woodland and Tree preservation is what makes Solihull special as in
"URBS IN RURE".

The Tennis club is well used with many different activities; and
Sharmans Cross is not coping with Victorian Drains as it is. We struggle
to find Doctors, Dentists, School Places already. Bringing more houses
with even more traffic will cause enormous traffic jams as if it isn't
bad enough already.

Danford Lane all the way down to Olton is absolutely jammed every
working morning from 7.00a.m to 9 30a.m and 3.00 p.m to 6.30p.m in the
evening due to schools and workers to-ing and fro-ing. I have had to
stop going to a Church Club at 5.00p.m because it has taken 45/50 mins
sat in traffic there and back.

To build all these houses in this area is madness, it could possibly add
another 3 vehicles to every new house built. Where will everyone park ?
There is not enough parking spaces around this area as it is. Are all
these Councillors out to destroy Solihull, because the way this is
going, this is what will happen.

It is an acceptable fact that more houses are needed so why not use up
the BROWN SITES first not allowing back-garden grabbing and green
open-spaces. I do not think that these proposed hoses are 2 bedroom
starter homes, which is what is needed to get "first-timers" buyers
/renters on the housing ladder.
