Reform UK's Elaine and Vic

Dear Elaine and Vic​

 Mayoral Hustings 2024.jpg

​

In the light of Vic casting doubt on the practicalities of putting trams on the Black Country Railway to Stourbridge Jct with Port Talbot freight trains at night to Tata Steel at Round Oak - despite the facts:

•  of the magical "Passive Provision" being built in already to allow double running;
• "light rail provision provides the basis for restoring heavy rail services at the appropriate time"; and,
• Network Rail wants the full Black Country Railway back "for freight in the 2040s at the earliest".

ABOVE QUOTES: from Network Rail, Tom Magrath of Centro in 2000 and Laura Shoaf, now Chief Exec of WMCA.

The professionals at 16 Summer Lane MUST HAVE taken all that into account because they are so assiduous, competent and professional!

STOP THE DUDLEY TRAM IN DUDLEY. USE THE MONEY SAVED FOR ...

 ... decent buses and Fare-Free Public Transport for ALL and to give the most badly housed 1/2 bedroom apartments that are highly insulated, energy efficient, solar powered and without cars.  At the 22,000 sq m of High Plateau, Merry Hill, Brierley Hill.

Give genuine treats, as above and not the deceptive, all that glisters is not gold, trams.

Do you go along with my contention that the most badly housed do not have cars and would want 1/2 bedroom apartments of low cost for rent and purchase?  They have the choice of shops at Merry Hill or Brierley Hill High Street to walk to.  1/2 bedroom apartments at Merry Hill may put the wealthy off from buying second and third homes there as an investment.

Please read the blue sheets because they contain useful information to 'get at' the Mayor when out campaigning - 365 days of the year - day off on a leap year!!
