Dear Richard
Do you go along with this, below? Labour's Lord Adonis initiated HS2 and got Gordon Brown on side in 2009. Labour councils initiated and have run with Climate disastrous Metro and Sprint massive expenditure using taxpayers money that should have gone to slow Climate disaster and towards Climate and Social Justice. Please continue ...
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.
