Residents across Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton, Hampton Hill, Fulwell, St Margarets, Whitton and Heathfield are set to pay more to travel after Transport for London introduced an inflation-busting 4.6% fares increase.
Whether travelling to work, visiting family, heading into central London or supporting local businesses, thousands of people across the constituency rely on London’s transport network every day. This latest increase will add yet another pressure to already stretched household budgets.
Conservatives believe Londoners are paying the price for eight years of Labour’s failure to secure the long-term investment TfL needs. Sir Sadiq Khan’s Labour Government has left passengers footing the bill through higher fares.
At a time when the cost of living remains high, Londoners deserve better than repeated fare increases. Every rise makes commuting more expensive and leaves families with less money to spend in local shops and businesses.
Twickenham Conservatives believe London deserves affordable, reliable public transport, with passengers no longer expected to pay the price for Labour’s failures.
