Father Rob Wickham is the vicar at St Mary The
Virgin Church on Eversholt Street, which is also likely to be
affected. He said: "I am particularly concerned about funerals when
we are carrying the coffin in or out - that is the most solemn
moment and the thought of trams running past sounds ridiculous to
me."They will pass primary schools, secondary schools and umpteen
nurseries. We have had a real focus on making the ward safe for
children, and our work will be ruined. The community is formed by
people meeting on the pavements outside the schools and they
wouldn't be able to do that."

I didn't spot the address... That priest is a moron. Eversholt Street is a
nightmare of traffic jams for much of the week. It will be so much more
peaceful as a tram-only route.

Bet you a quid it's not the priest complaining but the journalist
asking leading questions to get better copy. Complaints about a
controversial plan are far more interesting to read than people saying
"Oooh, aren't trams lovely".

It's what I'd do.

rest of ludicrous nonsensical ranting snipped

I love the idea that the streets of Somers Town are "safe for
children". I know the area well and it's one of the least safe North
London.
