Brent Misses Out On Crossrail

July 21, 2003 11:00 AM

The Government has decided that Crossrail will not pass through Brent. This will mean that local residents will miss out on quick rail links between East and West London.

Local Lib Dem campaigner Sarah Teather commented, "I am disappointed that local people will not benefit from this new rail line. The Government has taken a very long time to make a decision on this and even now nothing seems to be moving quickly."

In a blow for London's Olympic bid, the Government also revealed that the new rail line would not be ready by 2012. The omission of Brent from the scheme also means that links to the new Wembley Stadium will not be improved.

Sarah said, "I urge the Government to think again about including Brent in Crossrail. The improved link would be a great benefit to our area. It will also help tackle the expected transport problems around the new Wembley Stadium once it has opened in 2006."

    If you are a resident of the Brent Central constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
