4: Tramlink and Major Transport Proposals

The council will work with Transport for London (TfL) and other stakeholders to deliver the following strategic improvements to the transport network and where necessary safeguard land to ensure the scheme(s) can be implemented:

a. The construction of an extension of the existing Tramlink network to Sutton Town Centre and Belmont (the London Cancer Hub, Site Allocation LCH1). The council has identified a number of alternative alignments between the borough boundary with LB Merton and Sutton Town Centre which it will safeguard as shown on the Policies Map and in Maps 11.1 to 11.3 of the Plan. The council will work with TfL to identify a suitable route for a further tram extension from Sutton Town Centre to Belmont as shown on the Policies Map and Map 11.4.

b. The enhancement of rail service frequencies and associated infrastructure improvements across the suburban rail network to provide a more metro style service (similar to the London Overground) and improve orbital rail connections between other South London centres.

c. The construction of Crossrail 2 and any associated transport improvements that improve linkages to Sutton Town Centre and the London Cancer Hub.
