Residents back housing plans for empty swimming baths site - but fear traffic issues
Residents have shown their support for a council scheme to develop 34 houses on the site of former swimming baths.
Dudley Council gave the green light to the construction of 34 houses on the Peartree Lane plot, accepting a revised plan for cash to provide affordable homes.
The plot of land, which housed the now demolished Coseley Swimming Baths, has been unused for nearly 20 years, leading councillors to accept plans to develop the site into housing.
Talking to the Express & Star, Tracey Harris, 54, a resident of the area, said: "I don't really have an issue with the plans. It's been derelict for years.
"My worry is that it might bring more traffic into the area, it's a bit hard to park at night-time as it is. But it's better to use the area isn't it."
