Run with what, lacb? That SE London is neglected, but this should not be seen as party political - which Michael seems to think - or that there should be a transport justification, and that maybe there is, and here in SE London there is less need for road schemes? Maybe, but it would be interesting to see the numbers. Is anyone else interested?

I'd also be interested in looking at total transport spend, so not just on roads, and the impact on how quickly people can get about - e.g. London Overground. But as a matter of good practice, let's not forget about spend on buses and cycle provision. Looking at the big picture, are we hard done by or not? If we got the Bakerloo line extension, and they got all those road works, would we be happy?

Some of us may feel that, because we get less road spend than the rest of London, then TfL should be renamed "Transport for North and West London", but some others would like to move on from the blinkered Thatcherite vision of Road to Prosperity to a more sustainable, evidence based approach to policy making.
