Residents across Dundonald ward have just received a copy of Boris’ propaganda sheet the Merton Record – it claims, amongst other things that “Merton’s buses [are] amongst the safetst in Europe“.

This may well be true, and we mustn’t overplay how safe Merton is as a borough compared to some parts of London (unlike say, one of the Tory councillors for the area) – but it’s an interesting view bearing in mind the latest statistics from Transport for London.
