Chuka has made a submission to the consultation outlining the benefits a tube extension would bring for local residents and businesses, and the fact that many previous plans to bring the London Underground to the area have failed to come to fruition.

The Mayor’s Transport Strategy, which was published in October, confirmed that Transport for London (TfL) is looking into a range of options for extending the Bakerloo line into South London.

It also identified the current shortcomings of the transport system in South London, describing the “paucity of the Underground network in South London” and the need for “better public transport connectivity between inner north and inner south London”.
