to Tom Russon 14.12.2023 re car parks, Dudley Tram

Hi Tom - copied to Customer Services and to the Dudley Cabinet because of the tram mention, at the end.

I've had a look at both car parks today.  Pool Road is most unattractive and only the bottom section is in use.  Repairs are taking place above floor 1a.

The Asda car park could easily take the cars I saw this afternoon but it might have to be taken over by the council because the 3 hours maximum stay would have to be lifted.

Such is the desperate need for low cost, highly energy efficient apartments to deal with rising indigenous and migrant populations, I would strongly advise against yet more further education buildings using this valuable land.  We must save farming land to grow more of our own food.  PV solar on flat roofs/rooves is urgently needed because we have to move rapidly out of burning fossil fuels where we can.

What do you think, Tom?

In addition, for urgent climate and cost reasons, we must end the Dudley Tram at Flood Street.  In the long run, the tram must either stay on the railway line down to Stourbridge Jct or, the commuter trains come up the line from Jct station, having originated at Snow Hill station and Oxford/Worcester/London.  Nature, public open space and housing land must not be destroyed by Metro at Merry Hill.  All three must not be concreted, bricked and buried by Metro.  For climate, competent government and for sensible reasons.

What do you think, Tom?
