Greg Hands - have your say in consultations
This week, Greg Hands, MP for Chelsea, urges residents to take part in public consultations which could affect the future of services in West London.
Two important consultations are taking place at the moment, one effecting public services in Fulham, the other in Chelsea.
In Fulham, Transport for London is consulting on adding more District Line trains to the Wimbledon Branch.
TfL wants to add 5 extra trains a day to Wimbledon.
This would come as some relief to long-suffering users of the line, especially at Fulham stations like Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Putney Bridge and West Brompton, where trains at rush hour arrive already packed full.
For this change to happen, TfL needs to hear from you.
You can respond to the consultation online at www.tfl.gov.uk/districtlineconsultation or you can email TfL directly at enquire@tfl.gov.uk, and feel free to copy me in as well on mail@greghands.com.
You can also call TfL's customer services department on 0845 330 9880 (8am-8pm, every day).
In Chelsea, we are just ending an internal consultation on the future of the Royal Brompton Hospital.
I spoke about this two weeks ago in the House of Commons.
The NHS proposals would end children's cardiac services at the Brompton, even though the service meets all NHS criteria and is actually independently rated as one of the very best in the UK.
I hope that common sense prevails on this one.
We'd like to hear from you. Send your stories, pics and videos
