Dear Cllr Asif and Democratic Services

In my 3 minutes of Public Forum on Monday evening, would you allow members to answer my survey/quiz, here pasted, below - please?  If you agree, could a paper copy go to each member and officer to write on in the three minutes?    Many thanks.    Tim

QUIZ no 4 - to amuse you and inform me - give me your choice against number

1  Should £100s m be spent on bringing Metro trams to Merry Hill when it will completely obliterate the only public open space, nature and housing land there? YES/NO 

2  Should £10s m, instead be spent on connecting that same tram, from Dudley town on the existing/missing railway link, to connect the tram to the national railway network at Stourbridge Jct?  YES/NO

3  How do you get a DOUBLE advantage from one sensible decision in this mad, mad world?!  Any ideas?

4  Or, should the Stourbridge Shuttle tram be used from Jct station on the freight line to meet the Dudley Tram?  It runs between Jct and Town stations.  YES/NO

5  Am I a friend of the earth or a foe of the earth in opposing?:

1. Cars, vans, lorries using railway lines as roads.

2. Housing estates and trading estates running down urban railways.
