Boris on the case

News reaches us that London Mayor Boris Johnson has received correspondence from Shaun Bailey, Conservative candidate for Hammersmith and supporter of our campaign. The Mayor has repeatedly stated that TfL, which reports to him, should listen to communities.

We're grateful to Shaun, who met 35 of you at our last street meeting, for making sure that our campaign and the 500 of you who have been part of it has been heard by the man with the power to direct TfL not to simply ride roughshod over us. TfL's approach to "consultation" would suggest that's exactly what they intended.

And Councillor Nick Botterill, Hammersmith & Fulham's Cabinet Member for the Environment, who also met us recently and through H&F News announced that the Council was "reconsidering" the scheme, is meeting TfL next week.

When we have more we will bring it to you. Thanks again for your support.
