The detail of each site lane with often a great number of parked cars on will be assessed for its suitability, taking into account the road as a lot of the older built houses do not the appropriate evidence and comments received. have driveways and are unable to put driveways The Council’s adopted Design Supplementary in due to the older houses being very close to Planning Guidance sets out clear standards for sites. the road. Also, while this street is narrow, there are also speed humps, which if there are large caravans or carnival equipment potentially to come down this road I believe the access is simply too narrow to allow this much traffic. It is a very busy road as it is at the moment and I think further development down this road would cause an increase in traffic collisions. There would be a high risk of flooding where the proposed site will be located. There are pools located by the site and would have to be removed, this area is a very 'boggy' area and holds the habitat to many wildlife.

  • Walsall Tour Notes 1993
    Walsall Tour Notes 1993 The West Midlands Group organised a walk that followed the Wyrley & Essington Canal from Walsall to Sneyd and used the newly re-opened passenger route from Bloxwich North to visit Churchbridge Railway interchange basin and the now demolished South Staffordshire Railway House near there, These notes reflect a time prior to the railway privatisation, when Regional Railways had charge of local services and Intercity operated the express trains in this region. Members from the East Midlands, West Midlands and North West groups attended. Lunch was arranged at the public house built beside the infilled locks at Sneyd. Tour leader ; Ray Shill. Index 2 – 18 Morning Walk 19 – 30 Afternoon Walk 31 – 34 Images of Walk Area 1 2 3 The walk begins at Walsall Station and the group assembles in the Saddler Centre. It is a modern brick and concrete structure, a product of 1970's architecture. Many will probably remember the old station, its wooden circular booking hall and frontage to Park Street. Some may even recall the transition, in 1978, when the old booking office was demolished to leave a gaping hole above the tracks below. In this period the station entrance was effected from Station Street across a temporary footbridge to an equally temporary booking office on the island platform. Then there was only one passenger service. Electric units, usually 304s, trundled from New Street to Walsall and back. Their diagram's might have involved exotic places such as Bletchley or Manchester, but for Walsall folk the train only went to Birmingham. If they wanted anywhere else it was simply change at Brummagen.

Most live in small areas in the least deprived half of the country. Geographically, the area partnership shares borders with South Staffordshire and Birmingham East and North PCT’s. Residents are likely to access some primary and secondary care health services outside of Walsall Health Priorities: Generally, health outcomes are better in communities in this Area Partnership than Walsall averages. Indicators of child health are good in the area with relatively low Infant Mortality rates and lower levels of childhood obesity. Sex- ual health is also generally good in the area (low teenage pregnancies and Chlamydia infection levels). Life expectan- cy, as defined by current average age at death is a number of years higher than the rest of Walsall for both men and women.
