Some ten years on, still not a scintilla of a sight of that much-
fabled station - as I said would be the case at that same public
meeting. So, the long-suffering traffic-jammed residents of Fulham who
daily incur more traffic and jams as the developers' properties come
on stream, have been thoroughly conned, cheated and treated with
contempt. Just as I predicted at the meeting at which the St. George
crooks somehow swindled councillors and others into their dishonest
pockets.

St George's contribution was only ever going to cover half the
construction costs, and according to the GLA, "The West London Line
station contribution has been received":http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/plann...egic_dev/2005/...

The other half of the cost is meant to be met by another developer
(Circadian) if their development goes ahead.

U

U,

Many thanks for that.

This is certainly NOT what either St. George or the local authority
said AT THE TIME PLANNING CONSENT WAS GRANTED. They had us believe
that the money for the station was ringfenced and the ONLY obstruction
was Railtrack.

At that time, the other development (Lots Road Power Station) was not
even being considered, Lots Road Power Station was still in operation,
no development plans let alone developers were on the table and, in
any event, that land is outside Hammersmith & Fulham's jurisdiction
anyway, so they could have had no say in demanding money from those
(yet to be appointed) developers for money towards a station.
