MY SLIMMED MANIFESTO FOR METRO MAYOR

  1. We all need to be much better informed, concerned and engaged over slashing greenhouse gases.
  2. Use notices, advertising and billboards to get the message over.
  3. Do all the things that are so obvious to slash fossil fuel consumption.
  4. Restore the railway lines for TRAINS that the authorities have not yet converted to run homes, offices, shops, roads and trams down them.  Nearly 50 Kms still left for TRAINS!  LOBBY TfWM/WMCA/W Mids Railway Executive at 16 Summer Lane.
  5. Put solar panels on every E, W, S facing roof.  Every building a mini power station for their own energy use.
  6. Insulate every building for minimum heating
  7. Bring in fuel rationing from 1973/4 and the coupons from then - just dust them off!
  8. Bring in Fare-Free Public Transport paid for from abandoning anymore £15 BILLION Metro tram and £106 BILLION HS2 extensions.  Fareless buses, trains, trams as reward/compensation on bus priority roads.  Not just for old crocks like me but EVERYONE!
  9. Bring in Universal Basic Income to slash unnecessary production and consumption.
  10. Make it easier for us all to walk and cycle by converting the far too many urban water-logged, puddle strewn, muddy bridleways into having a free-draining, all-weather surface and, wide enough for all non-fossil fuel use, including horses (next century's transport mode!!)
