2 July (Part 1) - You read it here first
Councillor
Stefano Borella (Labour North End) was the first to say that an announcement was coming about the Thames crossing proposals at the
council meeting on 11th June.
His brief comment
was reported here on 19th June. A few days later
Hugh Neal’s Maggot Sandwich expanded on it and today it is
in the News Shopper. My speculation that there might be a Belvedere bridge has been confirmed by Mayor
Boris Johnson. We are going to get yet another consultation. The BBC reports that TfL has so far
spent £43 million on crossing consultations. Bexley council has spent a fair
bit on its propaganda too.
It has been reported that Boris Johnson now regrets his decision to cancel Ken
Livingstone’s bridge and presumably councillor Gareth Bacon will be apologising for
the part he has played in delaying the inevitable.
