Bus route "Reconsidered" by Council

This month's edition of H&F News is encouraging.

Hammermsith & Fulham Council, who print this newspaper, are officially 'reconsidering' the scheme.

Residents met Cabinet Member for the Environment Nick Botterill and officials this week who listened carefully to our concerns. We're confident the message has gotten through. When TfL announce that their "consultation" means they are going ahead with the bus, Cllr Botterill will need to approve the tearing up of traffic calming measures and a widening of our road, already a rat run. He will now, at least, bear your voices from Steventon and the surrounding roads in mind.

So we now have TfL, through their combination of disregard for residents and a deeply flawed approach to 'consulting', out on a limb. Compared to local residents, 500 of whom signed up to this campaign, united against it. This doesn't mean they won't still try to ignore us and force the bus route through but we have at the very least stood up for our area and made our voice known. Thanks for your support.
