 A new train service via CroftonPark has been secretly axed in adeal between Tory Mayor BorisJohnson and the Department for Transport. The planned servicewould have been four trains anhour from Bellingham to Victoria,via Crofton Park. Trains on theroute would have provided localresidents with a direct connectionto Victoria seven days a week. Transport for London (TfL), whichimplements the Mayor’s transportpolicy, have taken money meantfor the new service to help pay foranother project instead.Local Lib Dem campaigner TamoraLangley says, “TfL are supposed toannounce any change of plans for this newservice publicly, but they seem to be tryingto pushing it through in secret, hopingpassengers won’t notice.”Lib Dem London Assembly member, CarolinePidgeon, is working with local Lib Dems andcampaigning at City Hall to save the service.•Sign our petition at http://bit.ly/cptrains

Lib Dems and localcampaigners arecelebrating victoryin their long-runningcampaign to get theMayor of Lewishamto change hismind and restore aswimming pool toForest Hill. The Labour Mayor’srecent consultationhad two unpopularoptions: either builda new cheap pool on an industrial estatein Upper Sydenham, or put off the projectbecause he claimed he couldn’t find themoney yet. TamoraLangley said:“Getting a newpool in ForestHill straightaway – withinwalkingdistance forpeople fromCrofton Park ward – is whatlocal peoplehave wantedfor a long time,and the moneyhas finally been found. The Lib Dems haveconsistently said that this was possible – it just needed the will to make it happen.”
