Solihull Village on the corner of Stratford Road and Haslucks Green Road has been finished for months, but no one has moved in yet. Lights are on, but not aware of any staff. Builders have long gone.
Solihull Council needs to reject any future retirement village plans, too many have been or are being built right now and they are not needed. Over capacity.
The architects and developers must be fired / sacked, and go back to the drawing board.
