Croydon's tram stops are being sponsored by businesses after Tramlink gave the go ahead to a new money making scheme.

Shopping centre Centrale and Swedish furniture giants Ikea have already taken a stop each after approaching Tramlink.

Roger Harding, general manager of Tramlink, said: "It is something we have always been open to and when we were approached by these companies we were delighted to work with them."

Mr Harding said that they would be happy to consider offers from other companies.

He added: "I would think that if it was relevant then it would be considered. But we would have to be comfortable with the kind of relationship and sponsorship that was being offered."
