Gated homes ‘blocking footpath’

-

A new public right of way through the CALA homes site from Fiery Hill Road to Cherry Hill Road, Barnt Green, is impassable because of locked gates to some of the new houses, parish councillors heard.

“Because it is very upmarket, they have gated it in so you cannot, as a pedestrian, gain access,” said Coun Charlie Hotham. “I have been in contact with the planning officer on several occasions about this and she is adamant that this is a public right of way.

“There is no way out of it for CALA. It will have to be done. The residents of Barnt Green should have access through because it is a right of way.”
