I have also written to the Chief Executive of Walsall Council about the Sprint Bus proposals. I am concerned about the proposed location of the Park and Ride Car Park. Walsall Council’s Site Allocation Document 2019 identifies the proposed site as green belt land on page 139. 

I have also written to Laura Shoaf, Managing Director of Transport for West Midlands about the removal of mature trees along Birmingham Road and the proposals to build a 300 space car park on green belt land as part of the Sprint Bus route.

I have written to the West Midlands Mayor Andy Street regarding proposals to build a 300 space car park on green belt land in my constituency.  As part of these proposals, mature trees are being removed along Birmingham Road without consulting local residents. I object to this ill-conceived project, which undermines the Mayor’s public commitment to protect Green Belt sites.
