Full text:

I am concerned that the infrastructure of the area is just not good enough for these proposed developments. The roads throughout the area are narrow. There is queuing traffic throughout Dickens Heath every morning Monday to Friday as early as 7.00am.
Haslucks Green Rd with its sharp bents is already a dangerous road.
Yet again Green Belt Land is being proposed to be built on, yet there are brownfield sites throughout the West Midlands.
The lost of very busy, well used football pitches is of great concern.
Akamba is unique - a wonderful original oasis. A REAL GEM and a treasure to behold within Solihull.
Dickens Heath village centre and school - unable to cope with traffic and parking presently - and this will be made even worse.
