I would like to submit my objections to the proposed plan to build 90 houses on GREENBELT land at Hatton Park. We live right next to the field where the development would be, so its fair to say we are furious about the plan. Every morning the Birmingham road is at a standstill between 7.50AM and 9.30AM and again at 4.50PM and 6.20pm, so any the area simply cannot handle any more traffic.
But the thing that makes most of the residents angry is the total lack of school places in the area, with both Budbrooke and Ferncumbe schools full to the maximum, we face having one child in the local school and the other having to travel miles away to a different school.
This is totally unacceptable and the residents of Hatton park will fight this pathetic plan all the way to its conclusion. Clearly this plan has been drawn up by people who have not considered any of the points outlined above, otherwise this ridiculous idea would never have been suggested in the first place. Do not under estimate the residents of Hatton Park, as we will not lie down and let the council ruin our way of life.
