Walsall housing energy and transport

Hi Tim 

Thank you for the emails with the info.
Have seen similar  articles.One the problems arise from the high cost of heating low income people would not be able to keep their heating on to keep the damp a way
It recommends opening windows or leave the windows open Heat can go through the open window which adds to the cost also on damp and rainy days moisture can also enter in to rooms thus can be a stalemate 
Regarding HS2 this should be mothballed and the money saved for better local transport eg low cost or free transport or used to help offset fuel cost to the most vulnerable.

Walsall are cutting back on street lighting some street lights have been turned of about 6 lights turned of close to my street and have been told other areas are the same 
Walsall have stated no Christmas lights in the town centre this Christmas.

I agree with  most of your comment regarding the issues you raise on the trains and other transport. Some times I feel we should go backwards but use modern technology 
In the 50s/ 60s and before Walsall had its own goods station goods yard where by goods would be delivered via railway and re loaded onto small 3 wheeled vehicles (lorries)
Who then delivered the local goods to shops and other businesses.
With the increase of online shopping there is an increase  in courier services delivering small packages to individual homes so an increase in small van traffic. 
House building planning is centred around the car not people or public transport.
I"ll get off my soap box now.
All the best
Regards
