Gavin Williamson, MP for South Staffordshire, has condemned the plans for a crematorium on Wergs Hall Road, Tettenhall, and calls for them to be rejected by planning chiefs.
Dignity Caring Funeral Services intends to build the crematorium, on greenbelt land, between Wergs Hall Road, Heath House Lane and the A41 Holyhead Road between Perton, Codsall and Tettenhall.
Gavin said: “Although the plans are yet to be submitted, I personally will be opposing them rigorously. It is a barking mad idea and if they are put forward, I hope that they will be rejected by the local authority.
“Wergs Road is extremely busy and there has been many awful accidents at the junction. This will add to the traffic, which is extremely unwise, considering how much congestion there already is.
“People right across the district are concerned about these plans, particularly those from Tettenhall, Perton and Codsall, and I intend to do everything I can to oppose them.”
