Boris forgets Lewisham

Loveable Mayor Boris is at it again, playing a prank on South East London by forgetting to raise the subject of funding for Surrey Canal station during his meeting with the new Secretary of State for Transport, despite promising the London Assembly that he would.

LOL! What a legend.

Those spoilsports in the LibDems have failed to see the funny side, issuing this statement:

Caroline Pidgeon, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Transport Spokesperson, commenting on the Mayor’s admission at today's Mayor’s Question Time that he did not raise the issue of Surrey Canal Road station at his first meeting with the new Secretary of State for Transport said:

"It is incredible that the Mayor failed to raise the issue of Surrey Canal Road station with the Secretary of State when he clearly promised that he would. If we don't secure the additional seven million now this station will be lost for a generation.

"As a matter of urgency the Mayor must get on the phone to the Minister and ensure this issue is finally resolved."
