wrote: Greetings from West Thamesmead. [snip] The answer to our prayers is the Greenwich Waterfront Transit - with dedicated busways or bus lanes linking N Greenwich / Charlton / Woolwich / West Thamesmead and Thamesmead. However Andrew Gilligan of the Evening Standard has decided that it is too expensive and "a vanity project" for TfL. See http://tinyurl.com/6qlw8f Yes, maybe there are savings to be found - but the bottom line is: We need a better link to London now! What can we do to counter the Gillgan campaign I saw that article today. I thought it was so very generous of Mr Gilligan, the Evening Standard and Associated Newspapers to believe that they had been elected and they had any say in what TfL spends its money on. Strangely I don't recall seeing them as candidates on my ballot paper. I was also intrigued that Mr Gilligan has also supplanted the TfL Business Case Handbook by being able to declare on the spot that some projects are simply not worth doing. Still as long we all get "value for money" [1] and a reduced Mayoral precept we'll all be dancing in the streets. [1] that great well defined concept that we all know and love. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
