Lewisham Labour have today launched a campaign to extend the Bakerloo Line to Lewisham. Local people can support the campaign by signing the petition at www.bakerlooextension.com.
South-east London suffers from much weaker transport links than the rest of the city. The Bakerloo Line extension would be good for Lewisham. It would improve links for local residents traveling into central London. By helping people access the wider jobs market available in central London, it will help tackle poverty and unemployment locally. It will also support local economic development, bring jobs, investment and opportunities.
Extending the Bakerloo Line via Lewisham would also be good for London. Improving the transport links to Lewisham would act as a catalyst to realise the potential of the area.
Tha Mayor of Lewisham, Steve Bullock said “south east London has been overlooked for too long. We
successfully campaigned for the DLR and the Overground extension, but we desperately need better transport infrastructure. I’m calling on the Mayor to pull his finger out and make this happen.”
Councillor Joe Dromey of New Cross said "extending the Bakerloo Line is the right thing for Lewisham and the right thing for London. It would be great news for our area and we'll be pushing for it to happen as soon as possible. We're encouraging local people to get behind the campaign and put New Cross and Lewisham on the tube map!"
