What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A businessman proposed that the Greater London Authority take responsibility for Hammersmith Bridge from the local council in Hammersmith and Fulham. This proposal sets a three-year deadline for reopening the bridge to motor traffic, claiming the work could be completed for less than the current £300 million repair estimate. The proposal comes amid criticism of Sadiq Khan for failing to fix the bridge over seven years.
