My apologies for missing the meeting. Now home after granddaughter's birthday party.
I want to emphasise, for I fear I am in a minority, that opposition to HS2 extensions, Metro "bus on rails" tram extensions and even Sprint extensions, is absolutely essential as an indicator that people are genuinely convinced that anthropogenic climate change is a reality and is made worse by these totally unnecessary, over-indulgent, luxury projects.
They are highly energy-intensive in their construction. That means highly greenhouse gas emitting. That means an acceleration of what we are now, quite possibly seeing, as the runaway greenhouse effect.
They also divert attention away from getting trains back on our region's half-used or mothballed railway lines.
And, all fail to address the bus priority measures that are essential for modal shift from car commuting to bus, train and tram.
Please tell me if you think I am wrong and why! THANKS!
From Kidderminster, go to all destinations north, by TRAIN, missing out on Birminghams' stations. Please ask your MP and councillors to get behind the regional push to finish the Kiddi to Derby railway line for freight and, commuter/regional TRAINS! NOT Metro trams and Very Light trams and cycle hire on a principal mainline railway. SEE MAP, HERE:
