Here is a positive, practical, credible suggestion:

In either the 1990s or the 00s, the national highway authority at the time, did the most magnificent and extensive nature recovery programme on the central reservation of Manor Way/A456 in Halesowen that there has ever been on that section of road.  However, it was soon partly destroyed by the major carriageway reconstruction programme carried out by national highways.  It is now Dudley's responsibility.  Who exactly?

There did remain the thick section of trees, shrubs and plants opposite the new Maybank housing development.  It was the same further east between Manor Lane traffic lights and Lapal Lane South where the planting was clear felled to make way for the carriageway works.

After many years of writing to the authorities asking for the reinstatement of the earlier scheme, I was eventually rewarded by the planting of the cherry trees where, previously there had been a thick and extensive woodland of trees and shrubs - exactly like what remains opposite Maybank.  The cherry tree planting was NOT full reinstatement which the authorities should have carried out after the carriageway reconstruction.

However, they still have the opportunity to act positively and constructively in the international efforts to slow Climate breakdown.

Please write an email to Dudley Council asking for the reinstatement of the nature recovery programme that they have shown is possible, practical and, was once done by national highways decades ago.  Could you please copy me in to the email you write.  Thanks!
