Caroline Pidgeon is backing a campaign by Vince Cable MP to reroute the 110 bus route through Whitton. Caroline has already received a huge petition of over 2000 signatures from local residents which she will present at Mayor's Question Time in May. In the meantime, she has also written to the Mayor urging him to consider extending the bus route.
Vince Cable has also this week met a delegation from Transport for London to persuade them of the case for the extended bus route.
Commenting on the importance of extending the bus route, he said:
"Residents have worked very hard to promote this petition which calls for a direct link between Whitton High Street, the station and the residential estates of Heathfield. If we could get this agreed it would be a big boost for Whitton town centre as well as for residents, many of whom currently feel cut off from Whitton and the rest of the borough."
