Hi John - thanks for writing and the excellent direct action Acorn is doing to help Palestinians and Lebanese.
Earlier this year, was it you who read out a very lengthy and most inappropriate motion/resolution that I had written but only as background/more detail/explanation?! It was read so quickly that even I had to concentrate hard on following it! Can I ask for another, more adequate go, to start a discussion and get feedback, please?
ATTEMPT NO 2 - the ESSENCE:
Capital transport projects up to now, since 1981, have been the biggest slice of the cake at Brum CC and at WMCA.
Revenue transport funding to subsidise public transport is essential and is the biggest slice of that cake, too.
Capital, flash, grandiose projects help explain the fast rise in GHG emissions to over heat the planet, to bring the stress we are seeing on life support systems and climate breakdown.
The Top Decision Makers at Brum CC and at the WMCA are responsible for using taxes from both poor and rich to give highly expensive Metro and Sprint provision when the funds must go to help the lowest incomes DIRECTLY with insulating, upgrading and making THEIR homes energy efficient. My wife and I have done it with our money.
Can this new emphasis be discussed soon, please? An emphasis on directly helping those in most desperate need of having warm and cheap homes to heat (as my family home is and theirs could be, too). Direct action from a change in priorities to ditch extravagant, flash, unnecessary capital expenditure that accelerates climate catastrophe from all the GHG spewed out in the manufacture of steel and concrete. That money to be used.
A small delegation to then lobby BCC/WMCA for this new Climate Top priority, as is found here:
and, my tenth point here:
dangerous GHG = dangerous greenhouse gases
