LONDON MAYOR CANDIDATE IN FAVOUR OF TRAMLINK EXTENSION Brian Paddick – the Liberal Democrat candidate for the race to become Mayor of London – has said that he is in favour of extending Tramlink to Sutton.
At his launch of his campaign to be mayor he pledged his backing for the Liberal Democrat “Tram It!” campaign. He said: “Running the tram to Sutton would show there is an alternative to Mr Livingstone's inner-city focused transport policy. The suburbs need better public transport too."
* More details of the “Tram It!” campaign can be found here. It is a campaign run by the Sutton branch of the Liberal Democrats who want the Croydon Tramlink system to be extended to the town.
