Ward Matters

| Ward Matters |
|
Most issues in Olton are concerned with either Planning or Parking. As one of the bigger wards with nearly 6000 homes, planning issues often cause concern. |
| Ward Matters |
|
Our Olton conservation area needs to be carefully maintained. |
| Ward Matters |
|
We try to prevent the shoehorning in of extra homes into small gaps, the demolition of larger houses to make way for apartments, and any other plans which might change the nature of this pleasant ward. |
| Ward Matters |
|
"Olton" means "Old Town" and was formed from three ancient settlements: Langlea, Kineton and Ulverlea. It is one of the older parts of the Borough. |
| Ward Matters |
|
Parking is an issue, particularly by Olton Station and, in the mornings and afternoons by the several schools: there are five primary, one special and one large secondary schools in the ward. |
| Ward Matters |
|
Recent concerns have been expressed about parking by the Health Centre on the corner of Swanswell Road and Gospel Lane. |
| Ward Matters |
|
Despite its built-up appearance Olton is rich in amenities: Olton Mere, West Warwicks Sports Club, Robin Hood Golf Club, Moseley Cricket Club and Old Edwardians Rugby Club plus Langley Hall Park. |
| Ward Matters |
|
There are also Anglican, Catholic, United Reformed and Baptist Churches in the ward plus Solihull's only Synagogue. |
