Ten specific to Dudley MBC ideas

Ten specific to Dudley MBC ideas:

There are three reasons why the first two are the most urgent.

A) because the £15 billion is being spent now by TfWM/WMCA.  This is regardless of the political party in power at anytime or, who is Metro Mayor.  Democracy has been overlooked for 40 years, this year - it started with the W Mids County Council in 1981!

B) It is the best way and the most painless way to cut greenhouse gases.

C) It also brings the biggest savings in greenhouse gases because: any spending = more finite fossil fuels are used up for ever = more greenhouse gases to dangerously enhance the vital, natural greenhouse effect = unstable climate = risk of ecocide = Earth's 6th mass extinction episode hastened.

1. More commonly found in E Europe but also throughout the world, one UK political party, called Left Unity, is promoting Fare-Free Public Transport for all and not just my age group.  Paid for by abandoning the £15 billion to 2040 for mainly underground and overground trams replacing buses and some trains.  AIM: To get usage back up, as a reward for not using the car, as compensation and to cut greenhouse gases.
2. Freight and passenger trains back on the Black Country Railway in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and south Staffordshire where they don't put trams, ie 47 Kms still available.  (Also, 68 Kms Derby to Leicester freight-only railway.)
3. Insulate every council-owned building and put PV on every E, W, S facing roof of all council-owned buildings.
4. Provide a cycle-walkway on the south grass verge of Duncan Edwards Way.
5. Major 22 Kms Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway fixed, especially in the borough of Dudley.
6. Abandon moving Dudley's 2nd newest leisure centre all of 1 Km.  Yes, 1 Km to Flood St tram stop.  That is 1 Km walking, too according to Google!
7. Permanently widen pavements in all our town centres to allow parking for the disabled and deliveries only.
8. Change general waste to the same as recycling, to fortnightly collections.
9. Co-ordinate council workers and, volunteers like me, to repair/replace every wooden stile to further encourage active travel by walking, NOT by driving as far as possible and as much as possible.
10. Show the Attenborough film, 'Extinction: the Facts', in work time, to every officer and member of Dudley MBC.
