Blythe Ward Update

One of our regualar updates from Cllr Ken Hawkins and myself

The draft local plan looks as though it will be ready for scrutiny by all as we approach the end of 2025, and after consultation will move forward to Planning by Mid 2026, obviously this timeline is a guideline at present and subject to change. Its important to stress that there is a lot of ongoing work and discussions happening behind the scenes to help protect our Green belt wherever possible from over development.

Social media is playing an ever increasing part in the way we communicate, and you will see from previous posts we have talked about the following topics

NHS funding in our ward and how new developments make extra financial contributions

Our Local Rail Network is it meeting residents expectations and demand, does it provide a good option to other modes of transport that we use.

Council Tax and how Solihull MBC compares to other local authorities within our region.

Police funding via the precept and comparing our region against other authorities both locally and nationally
