When it comes to transport within the Black Country specifically Cape Hill and Smethwick, during the last consultations when West Bromwich got its regeneration regarding the bus station moving and the new boundary was drawn up. These 2 areas were suddenly excluded from being part of the Black Country, which in turn meant residents within the area were no longer able to purchase and use the black country bus tickets or passes and subsequently had to pay more for bus travel. Is this something that can be looked into as to why they were excluded.

Regarding housing within the boroughs, the thought prosses going forward has been to reduce the age of who can be offered a flat within a high rise down to 25 years old. Whilst I'm not against young people being given homes, its just that they will move in single or potentially a young couple and they will then go on and have a family but Sandwell Council states in its own policies that they would never move children into high rises, but they are being born into a life of high rises, that seems unfair.

Can you ensure that Sandwell will carry out their due diligence when it comes to awarding contracts to construction companies and that these companies can do what they are offering within the time frame, more importantly the budget and warranties and guarantees that are longer than 12 months if its something that has been structurally built. Can we also have transparency with the actual costs of works down to the last penny and any other additional costs that may have incurred because of companies not delivering on what they bid for.

3.6 Why was West Bromwich chosen as the boroughs main strategic centre, when it has no train station and the tram line misses many of the surrounding areas that fall within the borough and the resent changes and losses to the bus routes in and out of West Bromwich also cut out or drastically reduce the number of times they frequent these areas, Blackheath, Smethwick, Warley, Langley etc. Why should West Bromwich get the economic and housing growth, when other areas within the borough are equally as deserving and have better transport links. Who made this decision.

3.39 we have just spent however many years sitting under the shadow of the hospital being built and i mean quite literally the hospital now blocks out our sunlight and if the high rise is given the go ahead to be built it will block out even more peoples sunlight. Also this information is not getting out to the residents within this area, I dont have a solution as to how you engage or inform the residents but i know that it is seriously lacking in this area regarding the regenerations.

3.54 The upgrade to our specific block of flats has caused nothing but wet misery to tenants living within them. It would be interesting for sandwell council to give an exact figure as to how many individual tenants and flats within these blocks that have suffered from flooding, damp and mould(and still living with these conditions) since the upgrades were done and lets not forget the cladding that was put on to make them look pretty, falls off in high winds and is being held together with a clamp and wood.

This is us we live in a high rise and due to the incompetence of sandwell council we are now a flood risk. All 3 blocks of flats where I live flood every time it rains thats 90 flats in 3 blocks thats 270 tenants effected every time it rains and sandwells solution to the problem is flood sacs that they ran out of and they dont offer them to everyone as every tenant is treated and told something different to everyone else.

But you did this without consulting residents within the high rises, imagine waking up to strange men outside your front door drilling holes and blocking of your access, without any prior knowledge that your landlord (sandwell council) have taken it upon themselves to install broadband right above your front door with a company that has no physical buildings within the UK and their headquarters are in Slovakia and the deals they provide are rubbish incomparable to existing UK broadband providers.

6. How about asking the local residents how it will effect their wellbeing if a massive high rise goes up right next to them and blocks out their natural sunlight.
