Sandwell Council has submitted a planning application to erect a 60ft advertising hoarding on Ray Hall Lane, West Bromwich.

As your local Councillors we are wholeheartedly opposed to this application. The reasons for objection, plus those gathered from local residents, are outlined below.

·         Light pollution it will create which will impact on your property,

·         Distraction to drivers merging from the M5 to M6,

·         Sandwell Council opposed a similar project in Wednesbury in August last year,

·         Adverse impact on local wildlife,

·         Waste of Taxpayers’ money in constructing the hoarding,

·         Loss of Green belt Land.

We have set up this on-line petition to take forward to the meeting of the Planning Committee who will make a decision on this application on 16th December 2015.To see the plans click on the link below.
