London 'Ghost Station' Project heads to Parliament

The London 'Ghost Station' Project is being held up by red tape (which is always a few select individuals). We have started this petition on the Government website which means that Parliament will discuss the project and assist with the red tape removal.

The site takes a few minutes with the hardest part being
that you have to check your email and verify.
May I ask that if you love the project... you fill it out.


Many Thanks,

Sincerely,

Ajit
