Dear friends
I write emails and texts to Dudley Council members and officers but rarely get a reply. Dudley Council Plus is better. It is discourteous and arrogant to think that you do not need to engage with the council taxpayers that pay your salaries. Your blunder, indeed idiocy, in destroying the final 56 Kms of the UK's last principal mainline railway between London and Edinburgh via three of the four boroughs of the Black Country, could have been avoided if you had listened to me.
PLEASE REPLY AND EXPLAIN your Place-based strategy and your extensive housing/business plans once you have built the immorally extravagant, indeed greedy and unnecessary, WBHE shuttle tram from our Dudley shops to the Merry Hill shops. Dudley needs boosting and not Merry Hill. Clearly you disagree. Clearly, you are also Climate deniers. And hypocrites, in declaring a Climate Emergency in 2020 and then carrying on with business as usual to bring greedy growth and more Climate horrors around the globe.
FROM:
"(5) The implications of this decision for the medium-term financial plan and the progress made by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council on the development of its place-based strategy and expected growth in housing and employment opportunities which would drive up patronage with the intention of mitigating increased metro subsidy costs over time be noted.
"(6) It be noted that this place-based strategy would advance growth proposals and support the development of a further business case seeking to deliver the final stage of delivery to Brierley Hill High Street."
METRO SUBSIDY COSTS for a pitiful 23 Kms are only £2m less per year than the total subsidy for thousands of miles of passenger travel on existing bus services across the West Midlands. THIS IS A SCANDAL.
