LORELY BURT MP CHALLENGES MINISTER OVER HEART OF SHIRLEY DECISION

July 24, 2006 12:00 AM

Following the approval of the Planning Application for the Heart of Shirley Development, Lorely Burt MP has asked Ruth Kelly to call in the decision.

Lorely Burt said,

I have inundated with letters of objection from local residents who strongly object to another large supermarket in Shirley and the loss of valuable and prized parkland and an historic oak circle. I am also conscious of increased traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, and for the economic wellbeing of local independent retailers who give Shirley its unique character.

Mrs Burt added,

While some economic development for Shirley is clearly needed, I believe the proposed development will, on balance, not be good for the wellbeing of the area.

For this reason, I made a submission to the Heart of Shirley consultation and am now calling on Ruth Kelly to review the application.

    If you are a resident of the Solihull constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
