Respondent: Mr Richard Slaughter

Representation Summary:

Object to all proposed road improvements/new road building, especially motorways.

Extending Metro from Brierley Hill to Stourbridge Junction, and from Wednesbury to Walsall along former heavy rail corridor in addition to Wednesbury to Brierley Hill sections already approved and under construction urgently needs to be moved to the top of the list of schemes for future funding.

Metro route on old railway line from Brockmoor to Wolverhampton via Wombourne in conjunction with South Staffs District Council should be another top priority.

Buses in West Midlands need to be taken over and directly operated by West Midlands Combined Transport Authority.
