My questions to Mike Rouse and Simon Geraghty but to everyone present on Thursday 14 September at 1000 hrs - 3 minutes to read out:-
- In my recent emails to you, have you read a single one because there has not been a reply from either Mike or Simon?
- Do you actually believe Attenborough's dire warnings about the runaway greenhouse effect? He talked of:-"the collapse of civilisations", the "extinction of much of the natural world" and "time is running out" warnings (Dec 2018 at COP 24)?
- What are your personal reasons, Mike and Simon, as leaders of this council, acting in ways to deny climate science and to deny that burning of fossil fuels is dangerously enhancing the natural greenhouse effect?
- As important non-constituent members of the West Midlands Combined Authority, why have you failed to challenge your colleagues over destroying about 100 Kms of railway lines, including your very own 120 Kms Worcester, Kidderminster, Stourbridge, Dudley to Derby railway "of national strategic significance"?
- How did this come about that you have shown no interest whatsoever in restoring passenger and freight trains to one of only two north-south railways west of Birmingham and, that goes through your county town?
- Why have you failed to act to replace the slum disgrace and joke of a bus station at Kidderminster while being fully aware that your fellow councillors, up the unfinished mainline railway, were splashing out on putting the most expensive form of public transport after High Scam 2 on the Worcester, Black Country, Derby railway?
- Were you aware that hundreds of millions of pounds have been spent on replacing buses and trains with wealth flaunting, glitzy, glamorous trams? Did you know that only 23 Kms have been built in 42 years, with 18 of those 23 Kms on the first mainline railway destroyed?
- How do you explain, if only to yourselves, that you have subsidised and cosseted motorists while forgetting and failing in your duties towards the "households outside of London where 16.7% don't have a car.12 Dec 2022" (Wikipedia) and have to use buses and trains?
- Have either of you ever been to Kiddi bus station and seen the broken roof panels with rainwater dripping on your heads if you stood in the wrong place?
- And when did either of you actually travel by bus? Did you know it was national 'Catch a Bus Month', this month? When did you last try bus travel?
