The biggest & longest running scandal in the history of the UK ...

Constant building, demolition, rebuilding ... of Centenary Sq, Brum ring road, tram network and W Midlands railway network.

MORE DETAIL

Centenary Square in the first two decades of this century was rebuilt three times!

Brum inner ring road built and then demolished in two places within 20 years.

The tram network obliterated in the 50s;

the urban railway network from the 60s onwards.

In the 80s, the Metro tram network began to be rebuilt on the railway network, of all things, not yet used for roads and buildings. 

In the 2020s, we find TWO mainline railways have been wrecked by Metro. The most recent is the 120 Kms Black Country Mainline Railway "of national strategic significance"!!

This second tramline ALSO destroys the only public open space, nature, housing land and my guerrilla garden - at Merry Hill Shopping Centre!

Twitters to top business VIPs, like Tump

Dudley, Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Brum have destroyed railway lines and a principal station to turn roads into railway lines and, trains into slow trams caught up in road traffic! Spending = deadly greenhouse gases, too but business must have priority over ecocide.

3 rebuilt Centenary Sqs in less than 2 decades. What's the score for Symphony Hall refurbishments? Partly, show/style over substance; status symbols; wealth flaunting, chest-puffing out to impress with grossly extravagant, showoff projects with built-in obsolescence for next time.

This reminds me of the FoE poster of the 1970s of planet earth with the text, "This is planet earth. Don't spend her all at once." As we blow our one-off geological inheritance in crazy spending, we spew out greenhouse gases to give the runaway greenhouse effect, like venus has!

PLEASE, Jenny, could you reply to my email about the public inquiry into the 1974 pub bombings, Cllr Yvonne Davies, FFPT extended from OAPs like me to your age group, trains for the 49 Kms of the 120 Kms railway and transforming the Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway.
