Crystal Palace Football Club, home to football for tens of thousands of fans for over 105 years was about to go out of business starting at 15:00 on 1st June 2010.

Public pressure has helped to ensure that all parties have been prepared to negotiate beyond that deadline.

This petition is to be kept open to ensure that pressure is maintained until the deal is concluded. In the event the negotiations stall again, this petition will be sent to Bank of Scotland, the Prime Minister and other Ministers, Agilo and the Administrators.

Following the 'credit crunch' the expansion of the highly successful Tramlink has been removed from the political agenda. This is despite South London possessing poor transport links and billions of pounds still being poured into Cross Rail, the Olympics and tube upgrades.

Currently the fastest way to travel from Purley to Brixton via public transport is to take a train north into Victoria and then the Victoria line south, this takes 50 minutes. Expanding the tram network is a 'green' way of easing road congestion and allowing South London to reach its potential.

In order to ease chronic overcrowding in central London it would be sensible to open up more locations for firms to locate in South London which requires investment in a truly integrated transport network.

We demand that the following tram routes are immediately funded and put into action:

Purley to Brixton
Crystal Palace extension
Sutton (via Morden) extension

Tram integration with the DLR should also be considered.
