We have voting for a "figurehead" (Jonathan Walker) Mayor with no official powers when Chairing Combined Authority Board meetings. Andy is an excellent spokesperson and public relations man but, he told us in May 2017, with "no formal powers" (BBC 'Today' interview).
Scandalously, there is never allowed a single debate and voting to spend £15 BILLION (of greenhouse gases) to 2040 to convert our mass rapid transit system of buses and trains to one of trams, buses and trains to cause further changes and delays in using public transport.
Yet, in Scotland, they do uphold democracy with debates and votes before going ahead with their tram extension in Edinburgh.
And, this, at a time of climate emergency when we are meant to be drastically cutting greenhouse gases - urgently!
