Question for Leader Patrick Harley on his one hour Live Facebook session

Is it sensible, let alone competent to be spending over £1 BILLION on only 10 Kms of tramway on some of the already built but unused 56 Kms of the UK's principal mainline railway "of national strategic significance", according to Network Rail and the Dept for Transport?

ANSWER:

Mr Weller is very passionate. Value for money is important. Regeneration opportunity. New footfall, businesses and housing. More money coming into Brierley Hill. It will be well worth it for this borough and be useful for year to come. We have two railway stations with Dudley in their name but neither are in the Dudley borough.

What are you doing about the unsecured Himley Environment Ltd (HEL) landfill site that is used by quad/dirt bikers and 4x4s?

You declared a Climate Emergency in 2020. What is your understanding of what is going wrong and what have you done to address the Climate Emergency over these last five years?

Patrick referred to Dudley Port station and Sandwell and Dudley station that are both in Sandwell. Patrick could have had a reinstated Dudley mainline railway line and station outside the popular Station Hotel at the foot of Castle Hill. Do you think that hotel should now be renamed Tram Stop Hotel?
