This would be the Mayor who spent £2.7bn on the Silvertown road tunnel, and gave permission for massive expansion of London City Airport? 600K trees don't make up for billions spent on CO2-intensive business as usual. Zack Polanski Caroline Russell Helena Horton Roger Harrabin

Unsurprising. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander MP also green-lighted the disastrous Silvertown Tunnel, wasting £2.7bn of @tfl funds that could have been spent on public transport in the process. Helena Horton Zack Polanski George Monbiot Sian Berry

People are driving less. So why is Heidi Alexander MP planning to spend £billions on more roads like the Lower Thames Crossing? Why did Sadiq Khan waste £2.7bn on the Silvertown Tunnel? Jim Pickard 🐋 Joel Budd

Lower Thames Crossing, considered by the DfT to be “one of the largest, highest risk, novel and/or contentious” schemes now being undertaken – would be overseen by the transport secretary, Heidi Alexander. UK ministers take control of Lower Thames Crossing theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Labour transport secretary Heidi Alexander MP, who will now be responsible for this project, was also responsible for green-lighting the Silvertown Tunnel - despite the fact that the economic case was botched by TfL, leaving London with a massive white elephant. Gwyn Topham

The Woolwich ferry doesn’t run at night so why can’t TfL run the foot tunnel nearby? There have been *four deadlines* so far, to fix the lifts. Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Seb Dance Woolwich Foot Tunnel Will Norman change.org/p/transfer-gre…
