My conditions for withdrawing to help Andy in 2020
I also think Andy was an excellent choice and hope he gets in, again next year. I do like him and support him whenever I can. I really don't want to take votes off him, if I do go ahead with standing as an Independent. But, he must be outspoken against tram extensions; but, for putting the commuter/regional trains and stations back, starting with the completion of the 120 Kms Black Country Railway - extremely urgently and before the Camp Hill line; and, introducing a sea change in our commuting habits. That is, twelve month, A456 Hagley Road experiment of:
- never taking the car into Brum city centre unless it is essential for your major business livelihood or, there are at least two adult passengers in the car. Strict enforcement by random roadside checks when traffic is stationary; and CCTV. Hefty financial penalties for transgressing. Once you are down to one passenger or solo, you must go into the slower, outside lane immediately.
- This is done by 100% bus lanes on every nearside lane of the no 9 bus route and traffic light priority for buses and other vehicles permitted in the bus lane.
- Cancellation of elite, very expensive Sprint to allow for every bus to be similarly favoured. The roll out of Platinum buses makes Sprint unnecessary at this time.
- Electric buses, asap, must be the mass transit for commuters and not anymore tram extensions.
