Continued closure of Wandsworth Bridge
Ignoring his grandiose title (Cabinet Member for the Environment for God's sake) H&F Cllr Harcourt must live on a different planet and certainly has never had to endure the current traffic chaos. He even has the cheek to blame all the problems on the Wandsworth side of the bridge and not on his crazy traffic reduction scheme. That may have lowered traffic levels in the better heeled streets of SW6 but I doubt he's ever had to try going north-south over Wandsworth Bridge anytime recently. WBR is gridlocked as is every other side road/rat run eg Peterborough Road. It can take almost an hour to get over the bridge. Yes it would be better if I walked but as I drive an animal ambulance, that's not really practical!Wandsworth Council have had the good sense to abandon their traffic reduction measures - I suggest that Cllr Harcourt gets back into the real world and does the same.
