PADDICK MAY REVIVE WEST LONDON TRAM Brian Paddick – the Liberal Democrat candidate for London Mayor – has said that he may revive the currently abandoned West London Tram plan – a move which is sure to prove controversial in the area.
Mr Paddick made comments about the public transport in the area during a visit to Southall this week. He said: “I don't think public transport is good enough. But, there is no point in penalising motorists driving into London, particularly in parts which do not have good transport links. Parts of London have no underground links and are served by inadequate bus routes, so we must look at all the options like the tram. I understand there has been hostility locally about the idea of a tram, and that shows what happens when you have a confrontational mayor who does not listen to people and bullies them into doing the things he wants. There will be no tram without proper consultation and agreement with local people. We must look at every option to improve public transport and get people out of their cars."
