At last night's council meeting the first 700 signatures on the petition were handed to the mayor on our behalf by Councillor Feakes.

Councillor Paschoud had asked a written question about train services and the deputy mayor confirmed that the mayor had written to Southern, Network Rail, and London TravelWatch about this issue, and that they, along with Jim Dowd and Joan Ruddock are lobbying on this issue.

Councillor Walton proposed the motion about cuts to services, which had an amendment accepted from Councillor Hall complaining about cuts to the Bellingham to Victoria service as well. The motion was passed unanimously with all party support.
