The proposal to increase the size of Wilmcote by 800% can only cause damage to residents’ health and wellbeing. Noise, dust, dirt, cars are all key drivers of physical and mental harm. Developing a new town in (what was) a relatively rural location would be an attractive prospect for county lines gangs; in new towns strangers and criminals are easier to blend in. The existing health economy is already under significant strain; both Trusts are performing relatively well at present this is unsustainable without further significant investment. As a senior NHS manager of 35+ years, this investment won’t be forthcoming.
