We are being choked with poisonous gases from all sources of transport, heating and cooling, etc.
We also need trees, plants, grasses etc., to clean the air that we are contaminating, to enable us to breathe. Smestow Valley Nature reserve has been dedicated to that purpose.
We cannot and will not accept this plan to destroy this very valuable air renewal location.
One of the reasons that it is there is because the railways were a very ‘dirty’mode of transport.
To sacrifice this very valuable scource of giving us clean air and reducing the number of cases of lung disease for the sake of a few ‘privileged’ people, should not and cannot be allowed.
To this end I will (although it has not normally been my nature) will fight this plan tooth and nail to prevent it happening.
