The Travails of Transport for London

I sympathise with London Mayor Boris Johnson's problems at Transport for London (TfL). This is indeed an extremely "political" organisation. However, may I remind TfL's new leader that "stakeholders" in the "Re-opened" (?) Thames Gateway Bridge Public Inquiry (like myself) need a clear statement from him on whether this episode in the life of a proposed East London London River Crossing is, as his own comments and press speculation seem to suggest, in fact going to close. I can also offer this advice (based on nearly a quarter century of area regeneration work) that in planning strategy (as no doubt in Geopolitics - see below) all reasonable options need to be considered, including the "Do Minimum".
