The Power of rational, well argued, correct statements - the only way for people of integrity

Dear friends - re Bob's report of last night's meeting.  Should it go to all 200 people, Bob?

I think these monthly meetings should continue for another 12 months, at least, with Bob as Secretary/Organiser, although attendance is the real deciding factor in our future, of course, if it gets to just me, along with Bob!!

An additional email address to write to is:  customerservices@westmidlandsmetro.com
I failed to include it with the other three addresses in the Chat last night.

Our focus is Climate Crisis/Breakdown/Emergency.  That must mean reversing everything that is accelerating that and getting the staff and funds away from worsening it to mitigation and adaptation, instead.  For me, that must involve continuing my 30 years of writing to stop the emphasis on the 150 miles of the tram network being built at the expense of boosting bus use and getting the trains back on our remaining railway lines not yet destroyed by everything but the kitchen sink.

THE REASON:
TWMCA and TfWM still have this Metro and Sprint expansion, even to well provided and wealthy Solihull, as their Top Priority.  It should be doubling bus use at the expense of car commuters clogging up the roads for six hours every day.
Doubling bus use at the expense of the Climate Damaging Disaster: Metro, Sprint and, thoughtless car commuters who could use bus, train/tram.

URGENT REQUEST, PLEASE:
Write to the email addresses above and in Bob's report of last night's meeting - to say:

Please WMCA/TfWM/MMA: If you must take the Dudley Tram off the former railway "of national strategic significance", put it on TOP of the embankment at Merry Hill SC in order to keep Nature/Climate and housing land destruction to a minimum.

THANKS SO MUCH for your writing to help.
