PUBLIC MEETING - HOW TO BRING CROSSRAIL 2 TO STREATHAM: 7PM, 29 JUNE, AT HIDEAWAY

Streatham Action brings together a panel of experts and influencers on Wednesday to share what they believe are next steps needed to bring Crossrail 2 to Streatham.

All are welcome to attend and ask questions at the public meeting at The Hideaway, 7pm June 29th. The panel, which will be chaired by journalist and transport expert Christian Wolmar, comprises:

• Sian Berry, Green Party London Assembly member, former mayoral candidate and transport campaigner
• Caroline Pidgeon, Lib-Dem London Assembly member and Chair of Transport Committee;
• Cllr Jennifer Brathwaite, Labour Lambeth Cabinet Member for Transport;
• The Community Engagement Team representative for Gatwick Airport, representing "Only Gatwick Can";
• David Joyce, Director of Planning, Development and Transport, Lambeth Council;
• Neil Salt, Chair, Streatham Action Transport.

This is a good opportunity to highlight the desperate transport infrastructure needs for Streatham. There will be a chance to explore how a CR2 station at Streatham could help reduce traffic and pollution on the dangerous A23, and alleviate overcrowding on the Northern line and Victoria Line.

We'll also hear how Crossrail 2 can facilitate transport links to Gatwick via what will then be a new transport hub for south London at Streatham.

The bulk of the meeting will be taken up by answering questions from the floor and receiving responses from the panel members to comments received in advance from local residents on the Streatham Action website.


The Hideaway is at 2 Empire Mews, Streatham, London, SW16 2BF.
