West Kensington and Gibbs Green Estates and TfL
It is hardly a coincidence that just as the project to demolish hundreds of local homes proceeds we learn about the massive bonuses which are being given out to TfL senior staff this year - £2.5 mn of which Sir Peter Hendy is getting over £300,000. TfL is supposed to provide us with good public transport. What we have got is the world's most expensive and any regular user of the Hammersmith and City line will believe that the higher fares are going to pay the bosses fat cat bonuses and not on improving the network.The short-termist attitude of the development around Earls Court looks more like some opportunist property company in action than a state entity which is supposed to promote the public good. The profits from this are likely to end up in a future bonus pot to be carved up by a handful of staff already on ridiculous salaries.
