Whilst the Policy is good in its vision, it completely ignores the distribution of where the new housing is being proposed and provides no improvements either. Specifically the new housing developments in Kingswinford where the transport infrastructure is currently inadequate and will be made worse by future developments. A radical solution is required, and not trying to bolster the existing public transport system.

9.11 and 9.12 prioritising the Metro line between Wednesbury and Brierley Hill is fundamentally flawed. This plan is naive in not recognising that Birmingham is fundamental to the economic growth of the Black Country. The priority should be to improve public transport between Dudley and Birmingham. For Brierley Hill, this means putting in the rail/light rail (doesn't matter what mode, just whatever can be implemented quickest), so that access to/from Birmingham is improved. Nobody will travel for well over an hour from Brierley Hill to Birmingham, via Wednesbury. Without extensions/connections to Stourbridge and Walsall it is a complete white elephant.

Better links are always needed but as long as houses are not affected by this
