Clockfields and Pedmore Lane Green Space Protected

Clockfields SLINC off Culverhouse Drive

I am delighted that two green spaces in Stourbridge have been designated as Sites of Local Importance for Nature Conservation (SLINC).

Land at Clockfields in Amblecote and off Pedmore Lane have been given SLINC status, which mean they now have greater protection from future development.

I would like to thank local residents, Dudley Council, and our local Councillors for helping to protect these green spaces.

As you may be aware, land off Worcester Lane in Pedmore remains in the Draft Black Country Plan. A further consultation opens this autumn and I will continue to oppose development on this precious Green Belt land.

Protecting the Green Belt

To many people in Stourbridge, the green belt is a vital part of life. Providing beautiful landscapes to enjoy and experience and acting as a vital green barrier to stop urban sprawl, I recognise the important of the green belt in our area.

D-Day

What a very special morning. It was made extra special by the number of young adults and children who came to the D-Day service this morning in Mary Stevens Park. They are the voices of the future so that we never forget.
