Indeed. The government will want to minimise their future bail outs to TfL and accelerating developments on TfL land is one way to bring the money in.  Two government advisors have been appointed to the TfL board to bring the appropriate focus.

So much for livable neighbourhoods with blocks of skyscrapers...

Will anyone actually want to live in these places?

Isn't the Grenfell Inquiry still ongoing?  We need a better system like they have with air crashes to investigate fast the main causes of a problem.

And you you should see what they're proposing up at Gillette corner just off the GWR and also opposite on the Homebase site. You only have to look at what is going on in Brentford to make you want to weep. I fear with the government proposing even more relaxation of planning regs. it can only get worse.

Can't wait for more great concrete skyscrapers to loom over Chiswick and of course the hoards of  cyclists a that will be the future occupants only means of transport into Chiswick.  Super!

"minimise their future bail outs to TfL and accelerating developments on TfL land is one way to bring the money in"Time to implement registration and insurance and MOT testing for cyclists, I guess. That'll raise revenue.You're kinda up against the wall on that. All these initiatives, no real alternative given reduced carriageways and people avoiding tubes and buses. Makes me think of free subscriptions that quietly become paid subscriptions without the user taking note. The timing couldn't be more perfect. Careful your embrace of Boris et al on the current trends. After all, Conservatives like to know how things get paid for eventually.

Bailing out even more privatisations won't bring the money in.
