TRANSPORT
Stop destroying or, not fully using, urban railway lines. It only adds to road traffic congestion and all our woes!
You must have the courage to say 'No' to yet more conversions of vital railway lines and roads to tramlines.
Be content with trams from Dudley town centre to Sandwell and Brum.
If you must do WBHE Phase 2, then keep the trams on the railway line to connect with the national railway network at Stourbridge Jct. Freight trains at night.
DO NOT destroy nature (we are also part of nature!) by wiping out Dudley Canal No 1, 400 metre canal embankment and housing land at Merry Hill. See plan:
Use the long, high embankment as part of the Black Country Urban Forest to sequester carbon dioxide, a dangerous greenhouse gas.
FINISH what you started and return trains/stations to the ready built, 120 Kms line "of national strategic significance"
from Worcester to Derby via the historic capital of the Black Country - us! As Railfuture want, here:
HOUSING
Build homes not trams on the 23,000 sq metres of High Plateau, Merry Hill. See plan, above.
1/2 bedroom apartments, highly energy efficient and solar powered for the most badly housed and migrants.
Get migrants helping to build their own homes. Lobby government for the necessary changes in rules/regs/laws.
Ask Cllr Mike Bird, Leader of Walsall Council, for his architect's brainwave of putting housing apartments around the outside of multi-storey car parks.
Would it work on the land used for the visitors' car park at Russell Hall Hospital and, make more parking spaces, too?
