'Fight will continue' residents say as committee refuses Dudley children's home
Residents say the fight to protect their area will continue as plans to convert former offices into a children's home were refused.
In a meeting at the Council House, members of Dudley's Planning Committee unanimously voted against plans to convert a house into a children's home.
The house, known as the Tracey Wilder House, has been operating as a children's home for the past few months.
Speaking outside of the council house following the win, a neighbour to the property, Shaz Kerchar, said: "This residence will still run as social housing, which is part of the problem. But it's one battle at a time.
"It's a win today, but the battle will go on, We know they will appeal, but we need to keep fighting."
