SIR JONATHON PORRITT: There is 'Hope in Hell' (his book) - things can still be turned around

What total funds have been found to build WBHE Phase 2 through the only public open space, designated housing land and my vertical guerrilla garden at Merry Hill?

Is the possible SSSI at Daniels Land going to be bulldozed during Phase 2 works?

 
This is no exaggeration:-
The original objectives of the business plans and the Transport Works Order was to give us a first class public transport system. They have achieved 70 years of wiping off the face of the earth the entire tram network, followed by 100 Kms of the Black Country and Brum railway lines. All this, in exchange for 23 Kms of tramline, 20 Kms of the 23 on a mainline railway that also destroyed a mainline station, plus 5 Kms of railway lines.  25% of Snow Hill station also remains wasted, unused because the trams bypass it and the trains can never again return!!
 
Lovely, inclusive and tolerant Andy, has overseen this debacle over the last 6 years in post and wants more of the same.  Astonishing performance.  Yet, since 2017, he has held public meetings - very rare, if not unknown, among politicians - and got my vote twice on the strength of his decency in meeting the public and being challenged by all and sundry like me.
