APPENDIX 13
Memorandum submitted by Leamouth Group
Despite the recent news that the Jubilee Line
is open, albeit only from Waterloo Station, and what would appear,
at present, to be a rather unreliable service, we as a group are
very concerned at the apparent lack of information available to
enable people to access the Dome without using their cars.
There seems to be little emphasis placed on
those people living in the south east some 12.5 to 15 million
people who want to travel to the Millennium Experience. Many of
these people are used to out of town shopping trips using their
own car. It is therefore very likely that these same people will
try to use their own cars to get into the Dome, and when they
can't it is also very likely they will park their cars in and
around the Blackwall Tunnel area on both sides of the river.
It is the lack of publicity that our members
are concerned about and the impact it may have on their respective
business.
