Tram lined up to link Camden with Brixton

03 November 2006
CONTROVERSIAL plans to put a £300million tramline through the heart of
Somers Town have been set in motion by Ken Livingstone.

Despite a 900-name petition against the tram in 2003, the Mayor is
pushing ahead with the Cross River Transit which will run from Camden
to Peckham and Brixton with a line between Aldwych and Camden
Town.

I wonder how many people have to be against a scheme for it to be deemed
controversial. ISTR the market research of a couple of years ago showing
percent support in the high eighties or low nineties.
