After years of campaigning for a station to be built on the East London Line extension I am absolutely delighted to announce that the Surrey Canal Road development has been approved in principle by Lewisham Council, along with a commitment by developer Renewal to plug the funding gap for the station.
The plans still need to be signed off by Mayor of London Boris Johnson, but as long as he agrees the financing of the station looks secure.

It's a great tribute to Renewal's commitment to the area that they are prepared to step in.
The new station will form part of the East London Line and is really vital to our transport needs. Increasingly, people are finding that road congestion is a major problem. Public transport is absolutely essential.
