Publishing the January edition of Tooting Graveney Focus, the Liberal Democrats are highlighting the Mayor of London's steep increase in bus and Tube fares. Bus fares have risen 12.7% overall, and Tube fares are up 3.9%. Inflation for the year was just 1.1%. They condemn this as another Tory stealth tax, while money is being wasted on projects like replacing all the bendy buses. Focus also highlights the local NHS's plans to provide more funding to local doctors.
