Bring the Overground to Streatham!

After speaking with residents about their frustrations with the poor frequency of trains running through Streatham, your Streatham Labour Councillors and I are calling for the London Overground to be extended to Streatham.   Earlier this year following residents’ concerns, I invited Seb Dance, Deputy Mayor of London for Transport, to Streatham to see firsthand the improvements that need to be made and to speak with me about what can be done to bring back our trains.   I share frustrations of residents that the frequency of trains has gotten worse and worse in recent years. This has left Streatham with worse transport links compared with neighbouring areas, particularly when travelling East – West.   Please sign our petition to support this campaign and get the London Overground extended to Streatham by clicking here.
