I have recently moved to the Checkwick Green from central Solihull. Over this time the development I moved to has almost been completed. At the same time further houses have been developed in Tidbury Green. Every morning, the local roads into Solihull, Shirley or the Motorway are gridlocked between 8.15am - 9.30am. The infrastructure is the area has not been adapted to cope with the current population in crease, let alone any future increase. No cycling routes have been included and no proper pedestrian path from Checkwick Place into Shirley. These are basic infrastructure developments that should have been considered. Furthermore, there is no train line or tram line that runs across from Redditch to Solihull to the Airport. All routes are centralised into Birmingham. The local infrastructure cannot cope with any further housing and has not been adequately developed to cope with the houses built 1-2 years ago and currently being built.
