1          Background – Hammersmith Bridge

Following the sudden closure of Hammersmith Bridge, Zac Goldsmith is petitioning Hammersmith and Fulham Council to prioritise repairing and re-opening Bridge.

Hammersmith Bridge is a major river crossing and primary route for thousands of residents commuting to and from work every day.

On Friday 12th April, Zac Goldsmith MP visited the Collier family aboard The Princess Freda, one of their older passenger boats based at Richmond Landing Stage. The boat had been used during the Dunkirk Evacuation in 1940. 

As you may be aware, it was announced yesterday that Hammersmith Bridge has been closed indefinitely as a result of “critical faults” found after a routine safety check carried out on the bridge.

Residents in Barnes, Richmond and across South West London were shocked last night when the Hammersmith & Fulham Council abruptly and without warning shut Hammersmith Bridge indefinitely when ‘critical faults’ were discovered.
