Dear Leader - Should you be spending ...

... is it millions, on hire bikes around the West Midlands when some of us would like to use the existing cycling infrastructure, (off-road, like canal towpaths and bridleways) but so many are not fit for purpose?

Could you switch the largesse, your generous millions, to doing up the 20 Kms Black Country Cycle-Walk Off-road Active Travel Route that connects three major centres of population - Dudley, Wombourne and Wolverhampton?

What is the percentage of wastage of these expensive hire bikes ending up in canals or so quickly having to be scrapped or lost?

Do you use underwater cameras and robots to search canals for missing hire bikes?

How many have you found?

How many have gone missing?

What are the usage figures for the bikes not stolen or variously disposed of by users?

What are the up to date usage figures for the two trial Transport Hubs in Halesowen?

Can people with unused or little used bikes be encouraged to use them by upgrading existing cycle-walkways, including towpaths, for these dormant cycle owners to use them?

PLEASE GIVE ME THE FIGURES AND EXPLANATION FOR YOUR VERY EXPENSIVE AND WASTEFUL PRIORITY.
