COMMENTS / KEY ISSUES
London Borough of
Hounslow
2Hounslow supports the concept of a tram along the
Uxbridge Road. The Council accepts the need to provide
a more attractive mode of public transport along this major
public transport corridor. Based on the material presented
by the West London Tram project team, the Council
believes that the trams, as a mode, provide the best
potential for promoting modal shift, encouraging
regeneration and maximising accessibility in the face of
rising levels of population, car ownership and traffic
congestion"
"The Council, cannot therefore, give its unqualified
support to any proposal that significantly increases the
level of traffic congestion or reduces the quality of the
environment in the borough. We Urge Transport for
London to reconsider the proposed road closures and
employ alternative measures to maximise the priority and
effectiveness of the proposed tram service"
