New edition of The Putney Paper - hot off the presses

We've just taken delivery of the new edition of The Putney Paper - copies of which should start arriving through doors across the constituency in the next days and weeks.

Because it's such an important issue locally, we've devoted this edition to transport. Our headline story is the long-overdue revamp of Putney mainline station - something Labour has been campaigning on for years and years (it was one of the demands of my Save Putney High Street campaign, for example).

Inside, I set out my views on Heathrow expansion - the editorial I've written can be read here - and the paper goes on to ask important questions about just how opposed to Heathrow the Conservatives really are.

I also champion my Putney4AirTrack campaign: the proposal to provide a Waterloo to Heathrow service running through Putney: an infrastructure project that should go ahead regardless of the decision on Heathrow expansion.

And elsewhere in the paper I report on Southfields' station's Olympic lift - the fact that the station is finally getting a passenger lift because it is an Olympics Station for 2012 (and not, as some Conservatives are dishonestly claiming, a result of anything they've achieved!), and on the latest bus performance indicators.

Plus a round-up of all the local news from around the constituency and your chance to have a say.
