2 mins to select, copy, paste

MY LATEST REQUEST to the powers that be, is to avoid levelling up the rich owners of Merry Hill Shopping Centre by giving them, for free, yet more wealthy assets - this time a tramway, from public funds, too.

Please select, copy, paste to customerservices@tfwm.org.uk with this suggestion, if you agree:

THE TRAM TO SHOPS OR STATION - to Merry Hill or railway network?

It will save over £100 m and, a similar weight of greenhouse gas emissions, if you abandon the plan to take the Dudley Tram off the railway line into Merry Hill to destroy public open space, nature, housing land and a vertical guerrilla garden.  Instead, keep it on the railway to connect it to the national railway network at Stourbridge Junction.

Your 400 m long, very energy intensive in construction, high climate impacting, concrete and steel tramway viaduct, is too destructive and the tram deposits Merry Hill shoppers on the high canal embankment towpath and not above the shops, as your previous monorail did.

Thanks so much.
