Labour Campaigners Highlight Fare Rises

Leafleting stations borough wide

Campaigners were out early on Monday morning at stations across the borough highlighting rising fares and planned cuts to station staff.  Labour’s Ruth Cadbury was at Chiswick Station meeting  commuters heading to work after the holidays.  “Londoners face another  year of rising fares for a worse service, thanks to Boris Johnson and his Tory friends in Government” she said.  “In contrast Labour will cap rail fares, and ensure that stations are staffed and accessible and safe for everyone” she added.

Monday marked the start of a week of action for the Labour Party. This Saturday there will be “Cost of Cameron” street stalls this Saturday in Hounslow High Street and Chiswick High Road, collecting signatures on Energy Freeze petitions.  Ruth said “The cost of living crisis is affecting many local people and I hope to meet and hear their stories on Saturday"
