To Wyre Forest Green Alliance

Thanks for organising yesterday's excellent workshop.  It has prompted these thoughts.  Could this be forwarded to the others who attended, please so I get their comments?

I think we must fight doughnutty, weird and wonderful priorities:

1. The authorities (Midlands Connect/WMCA and the Black Country Chamber of Commerce) want the 87 Kms Western Orbital Motorway instead of the Kiddi, Dudley, Walsall, Derby mainline railway finished with passenger and freight trains and Railfuture's nine stations.  They are destroying the railway with their "bite-sized chunks" of trams, Very Light Rail (VLR) test track and the National VLR Innovation Centre yet, saying all the time, that they actually want the trains and stations back!
2. WFDC and WCC are non-constituent members of the WMCA, if I remember correctly.  Therefore, they are supporting the disastrous, greenhouse gas-emitting, showpiece, grossly extravagant, Metro "bus on rails" trams, instead of electric buses on roads and trains back on existing, mothballed railway lines.
3. Regenerating Kiddi and Dudley town centres are not giving small to medium-sized, Passivhaus standard housing as their top priority.  They should be, I think if they are responding to their self-declared climate emergencies.
4. Keith helpfully told us that housing is being put outside the doughnut (Kiddi town), instead of in the centre of it where the empty retail units are.  Can Keith write who highlighted this, perhaps?
5. Failing to put cycle-walkways alongside main roads, eg Dudley Southern Bypass.  What can be done in Kidderminster?
6. My suggestions, here are green growth to counter economic growth that spurs greenhouse gas emissions.
7. Can Worcs CC and Shropshire CC, with our writing in support, appeal to walkers (like me who has promised £1,000 towards the proposed R Rea footbridge near Marlbrook, nr Mamble) to sponsor a stile/gate, footbridge, favourite path?  The authorities have very little money for their maintenance, so we are very slowly losing the right to roam on our rights of way.

Are there any comments, feedback, agreement, even support that others would like to give me, please?
