CRYSTAL PALACE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CALL FOR TRAMLINK EXTENSION
London Tramlink – Sunday 21st December 2008

The Crystal Palace Chamber of Commerce have said that extending the Tramlink system to the town is key to helping businesses in the area. They claim that many members saw the decision in November of the Mayor of London Boris Johnson to axe the extension as a major blow to the area.

Sue Nagle, member of the Crystal Palace Chamber of Commerce, said: “If the Mayor really wants to help businesses in this area he needs to find the funding for this project now. We are desperate for it.”
