The proposed huge expansion of Balsall Common brings with it an urgent requirement for infrastructure able to support the increased population, traffic, educational and medical needs. Another 3-entry primary school is needed to accommodate new families plus pupils from that side of the village currently at BCPS to address the worsening traffic congestion around the current school. Much better public transport is needed, plus adequate parking for the station. It is vital that the surrounding green belt is not lost to inappropriate soulless development and that the village centre becomes a more attractive destination for shopping, leisure and services.
