Press Release
Statement by Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone on the funding of Crossrail
2-10-2007 590
The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone said:
'In the last weeks huge effort has gone into putting together a comprehensive funding package for Crossrail - something no previous government has achieved. The Corporation of London's decision to contribute to meeting the funding gap for Crossrail is therefore very welcome. It reflects the benefits it will bring to the City of London and indeed to London as a whole - other London businesses such as the Canary Wharf Group and BAA have also contributed, as well as Transport for London. I hope it will now be possible to agree a final overall funding package for Crossrail and for a positive announcement to be made.'
