My Manifesto for 2020 W Mids Mayor

Future proofing the West Midlands against human climate change, resource depletion and the further destruction of our green and pleasant land

Fareless for all electric buses paid for by abandoning tram line building.
Fareless electric buses instead of electric trams.
On 100% bus lanes and priority at traffic lights.
All of our remnant, existing railway lines not yet obliterated by roads and buildings, to be used for passenger and freight trains.
Promoting the British built Alstom hydrogen electric train that were sold to Lower Saxony, Germany in 2017.
Arguing against tram trains and train trams that are inappropriate for the 120 Kms Black Country Railway that, since the 8 March 2018, is officially "of national strategic significance".
Every cycle-walkway and towpaths tarmaced and made fit for purpose.
Especially, the 18 Kms Black Country Puddle Strewn Mudway.
Compulsory purchase the remaining land of the 6 Kms Dowery Dell Trail (Halesowen Railway) for it to become a public right of way over its full length.
Promoting modest sized, highly insulated, solar powered new homes.
Promoting house extensions that are highly insulated and solar powered.
Promoting small family size; upgrading all homes to low carbon dwellings; promoting bus, train and tram commuting instead of car commuting to free up road space for essential vehicle use.
