Thanks. I'm sure it is all very logical to accountants.
For me, the cash is all coming out the same central pot, and as you say, given the choice, local people would prefer that their services are maintained.

But if TfL insist the money is spent on the roads, then I'd argue installing the one stop pedestrian crossing at the station would greatly improve commuters, pedestrian and shoppers lives in FH - their making walking count objective.

They could reinstate the cycle highway route project - their cycling revolution objective. More cyclists generally wheeling around would help slow traffic in DR - their better streets objective - and local people on bikes are more likely to shop locally.

They could actually attempt to tackle the traffic pollution, currently way over the safe limits in FH - their better environment objective.

All these projects would have beneficial effects for DR.
Oh well. At least this project is creating employment, I guess.
