I WANT TO BRING THIS TO EVERYONES ATTENTION
I attended a meeting yesterday that brought to light that the council are allowing/consideration to green space areas of Walsall to be sold off for development the Reedswood / Birchills boundary is under threat of this development and that includes the whole of Reedswood Park, Pouk Hill public open space, Public open space located North of Churchill Road opposite the Jane Lane School.
This has been done on the quiet and nobody in the area was informed as it has been hidden under the Walsall Spatial Strategy Plan of the emerging Black Country Plan Review
Due to this we have little time to meet the proposed deadline which is 11/10/21
It’s not too late to send in an objectionable email to
[email protected]

For more detail please visit Goldfinch Town Planning Services who have brought this to the attention of the residents by commission to prepare representation and the info on this page can be copied and pasted to the above emails as a objection https://www.facebook.com/Goldfinch-Town-Planning-Services-102290878105514/
These areas as explained in the meeting are natural green space sensitivity, critical public open space importance for local residents, and urban green lung sensitivity helping to significantly reduce harmful levels of air pollution and reducing noise from the M6 motorway network. Once these areas are gone they are gone forever.
