The most strange behaviour from the young professionals! And then we ancient elders get blamed for leaving the planet in such a mess for them to inherit! What a cheek!

12 cycling schemes for £17 m (below) but the UK's major and only 22 Kms, traffic-free mudway, the Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway is not included for upgrading.  This is quite disgraceful and shows, once again the weird and wonderful, indeed the eccentric priorities of the WMCA/TfWM.  The most peculiar priorities and incompetence are seen for over 40 years with highly expensive, grossly extravagant trams put on railway lines instead of trains and, now with £17 m, on top of the cycling £62 m awarded to Brum last decade given, for example, to the A4123 cycle and bus scheme instead of the 22 Kms, traffic-free, urban-rural-urban, Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway, that still does not even have an NCR number.

Please buck your ideas up!

THE WELLER PLAN FOR CLIMATE ACTION

LET'S GET OUR REGION BACK ON (WAY OFF now) TRACK to postpone climate calamity

UNLEASH OUR POTENTIAL TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST CLIMATE DISASTER

ANDY'S PLAN in black

100,000 good-quality jobs for business as usual to head us in the wrong direction on climate.

Massive progress on our transport plan.  Dudley's 7th railway line destroyed.

Thousands of new homes on brownfield sites.  Passivhaus standard.

Championing the West Midlands every day.  Action on preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.

WELLER'S PLAN

100,000 JOBS for insulating every building, PV panels on every E, W, S, roof.

Massive immoral spending ENDED on trams to replace buses and trains.

Every home must be a mini power station like mine.

Championing radical business action on the climate emergency every day.

WE'VE WON £1.05 BN OF GOVT CASH TO IMPROVE TRANSPORT IN THE WM says Amore railway stations

more bus improvements

more Metro stops

more cycling infrastructure

Weller says  get the stations and trains back on our mothballed and freight only railways - 106 Kms!

Extend Fare-Free Public Transport to EVERYONE.

No more obscene, immoral spending on Metro that makes public transport slower with more changes.

END the disgraceful 22 Kms Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway shambles.
