Burntwood Action Group

We have now published our first newsletter which you can read here. This should be appearing in letterboxes across the area very soon indeed. If you want to pass this onto someone who hasn’t received it or doesn’t have a computer, just right-click here and choose “Save Target As” to put it on your computer – then just print it out and pass around.

We also have new ways for you to be part of our campaign – click here to add your email address and we will inform you of news as and when it happens. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Should you have any questions or queries, just hit the “Contact Us” button and we’ll get back to you. We also have a poll on the right-side of the site which you can take part of – show your support by placing your vote!

We would like to thank everyone for their support so far. We achieved in excess of 2000 letters of protest to the council.

So far all funding for the campaign has come from the pockets of the committee. Any donations would be gratefully received as we still have plenty to do. Cheques should be made out to “Burntwood Action Group” and delivered or posted to..

Readers of the Burntwood Mercury may have seen an article on page 2 about our campaign. Unfortunately the second to last paragraph completely misrepresents our position.

The land northwards towards Gentleshaw and Chorley was identified by Lichfield District Council as a possible area for development prior to publication of the Preferred Option. We drew attention to this so that residents would be ready to resist any proposals to develop on that land if the Preferred Option to develop southwards was rejected.

We are opposed to development on any green belt land around Burntwood!

Proposed plans for the area near Farewell Lane and Lichfield Road can be seen below. We mentioned these earlier but you can now see the proposals for yourself. This is Green Belt land and 377 houses are shown with two entrances feeding each half of the estate. Given the design of current estates it may also include three-story high homes.
