Today I am welcoming the go-ahead of phase two of the East London Line. The scheme will link Surrey Quays on the East London Line extension to Clapham Junction, providing direct links to the City and Docklands.
The extension of the East London Line is very good news. At a time of recession it is a very much welcomed investment in the constituency, providing better transport links for many of my constituents.
I am pleased that provision has been made in the scheme for a station at Surrey Canal Road. Significant funding for the construction of the station is available from the Department for Transport if a valid case is presented. TfL is currently carrying out a value for money assessment.
I am convinced of the merit of the scheme and I will continue to press for a new station at Surrey Canal Road, working with local residents, the Council and other groups to show the support and need for the station.
