MADAM - After reading recent articles about road improvements through Bromsgrove, which is needed through the pinch points, the council carries on to say that it releases potential for a further 2,000 homes and over the next 13 years another 5,000 homes.

That has the potential for an excessive amount of extra traffic from those houses which will render the improvements useless.

When are they going to realise that other areas outside of Bromsgrove can handle the volume of extra traffic better?

The residents want improvements to the town, not trying to cram extra houses/care homes in and putting strain on the roads.

The councils plans will be ruining a beautiful town.
