to Tom Freeland of the Canal and River Trust

Dear Tom

I am much looking forward to the meeting.

I wonder if you might be so good as to show the photograph (below ) at some point in the meeting, and let me simply read out my proposal (under the photo) for your consideration, please?  It would be very quick, therefore but may be of interest and even get some agreement from some attending.

SAVE WHAT LITTLE NATURE THERE IS AT MERRY HILL:
The tram tracks on a high viaduct, because of the slope, is planned to be built exactly where the trees are: 
I am asking for the immorally expensive, planned Metro "bus on rails" tram at Merry Hill to be moved from being next to the canal on a steep grass embankment, for it to go ABOVE the canal on steel stilts, instead.  It would save the public open space - and our taxes, too because of the cheaper cost!  There is still time for the proposed destruction of the public open space by concrete viaduct to be withdrawn and the tram tracks to be built above the canal, instead.

Earlier this month, I did write to the CRT to ask for your thoughts on the matter but no acknowledgement or reply has been received.

Best wishes
