The
petition to extend the route of the 22
Bus on from Putney Common to Hammersmith
Bus Station via Barnes is enjoying steady
growth and has over 1400 signatures
at the last count.
It
is enjoying the support of Tony Colman
MP and Cllr Edward Lister leader of Wandsworth
Council who has urged the Mayor and London
Buses to work together and come up with
plans for a new route linking Putney with
Barnes and Hammersmith.
Cllr.
Lister said:
"The demand is
there for this service. The council has
long argued that the 22 should run to
Barnes. Now there is the opportunity to
develop the service further so that people
in the west of Putney have a more direct
route to Hammersmith. "The Hammersmith
link is just the sort of simple cost effective
measure that should be given priority.
If modest schemes like this cannot attract
support people will inevitably grow sceptical
about the Mayor's more ambitious claims
for public transport in the capital."
However the campaign has had a set back
and you may be able to help them. Over
the Christmas period with all the rush
the signatures from the week preceding
Christmas taken at Barrys Newsagents
and Simmonds Chemists - both on the
Lower Richmond Road - were lost a total
of four pages! If you signed during that
period or know people who did, the organisers
ask that you please go back and please
sign again!
