Wolverhampton has one of the lowest percentages of greenbelt land outside of London, yet it has emerged via The Express and Star that the draft Black Country Plan has been devised to build new homes on this valuable space over the next 10 years. 

10.5 acres of green belt land south of Moseley Road, in Bushbury, has been earmarked for 124 homes.
And so has 4.56 acres of green belt land in Northycote Lane, Bushbury, which is set to make way for 182 homes.

Once sold to the builders this precious land is gone forever and I am urging Wolverhampton City Council to abandon this project and consider using some of the many ex-industrial and neglected sites across the borough, where there is a need for regeneration, instead of this act of vandalism on our countryside and loss of habitat for much of the local wildlife in an area enjoyed by many.
