Commenting on the announcement by the Government that they have given legal powers and planning consents to Network Rail for the Thameslink 2000 scheme, Cllr Adele Morris, Liberal Democrat councillor for Cathedrals ward, said:
"This is a devastating result for the area. Yet again the needs and aspirations of local residents and traders who have been here for generations have been ignored in favour of something which will benefit those who are only passing through. The Government, GLA and big businesses have yet again put their fingers up to local democracy."
