Thanks very much for the report of Tuesday's meeting. To clarify, I am not wanting trams off railway lines when they are now on them at a much greater cost to our purses and planet than using TRAINS!!
I am insisting that even the Dudley Tram must now STAY on the railway line to connect with the national railway network at Stourbridge Jct station and must not wreck over 400 metres of nature, public open space and housing land at Merry Hill to only end up in little known Cottage Street, Brierley Hill - not quite in the middle of nowhere!
I think it is urgent that we stop the billions now being planned for 150 miles of trams in the West Midlands and stop the tram network rolling out between Leeds and Bradford in West Yorkshire, that Mayor Tracy Brabin is working on. Like Richard Parker for us. Both are desperate for their own tram empires by 2040. The exact opposite of being Climate Compliant! The exact opposite of all that history has taught us of how these people love to build (first waterways, next tramways, followed by railways, back to tramways now as railways continue to decline from having the tramways built on them) only for them all to be destroyed in the years from 1945 to the present!
