More reaction to London Mayor Sadiq Khan's support of the controversial Garden Bridge project.

London Assembly Member for the Greens, Caroline Russell, said it should be scrapped.

“The Mayor is talking about cutting back on TfL waste to fund his fares freeze and yet is missing this obvious opportunity to scrap a vanity project and focus funding on things that would deliver genuine benefit to Londoners.

"There’s no case for the Garden Bridge on transport, horticulture or tourism grounds. Asking for fewer closures for private events is just not good enough.

"The Garden Bridge should be scrapped and the Mayor should focus on delivering bridges in East London where people need routes for walking and cycling across the river.”
