I think Elizabeth hit the nail on the head. The Croydon tram link extension we are talking about is hospitals to hospitals. Your funding mechanism will not work for that particularly: it is a pretty deprived residential area. This whole area does not need to wait for a wing and a prayer in terms of new alternative funding, but it does need a proper investigation. I know the Mayor has been down there.

You have the consultation and people say it is making their street noisier, so then what?
