Mayor announces £320 million transport boost

At the end of July Mayor of London Ken Livingstone announced funding of £320 million for transport and regeneration projects in London.

A portion of the funding will be spent on a major development at Vauxhall Cross, the chaotic south-western gateway to SE1. The complex road junction will be reconfigured and made more pedestrian-friendly and a new “superstation” will link tube, rail and bus services.

The money will also fund development of the Cross River Partnership's plans for a new light rail (tram) system linking Peckham, Stockwell and Camden via Waterloo.

The Central London Partnership has also received funding for development and improvement work in the Lower Marsh and Borough High Street areas.
