The Development of Belmont!

I note that at the Council meeting Peter Geiringer said he wants Tramlink to come to Belmont down the current Epsom Downs line.

He might not be so keen if he realised, that he can't have it both ways. Currently low housing densities and better public tranport.

If instead of the currently poor train service, Belmont gets a regular Tram, planning pressures will increase in that area.

In the past I have pointed out in a "Jonathan Swift" sort of way that if people were really serious about reducing housing pressures in our borough they would be advocating the shutting of all the local railways stations! However I don't see any local political party advocating that despite all the warm words we will be hearing about retaining low housing densities in the coming months!
