Ah well, there's a surprise. The 3 councils concerned are all

I certainly don't remember Croydon, Bromley's and Merton's Council Tax
increasing exponentially to pay for the Tramlink. But, hey, why let the
truth get in the way of a good story, eh ?


Exactly. And there hasn't been anything like this sort of NIMBYism
with the Camden-Peckham route. Indeed, even in Peckham, the people
most affected by it (those who will lose their business/studio space
due to the construction of a depot) are still in favour of the project
as a whole.
