Politicians to probe Heatherwick's Garden Bridge appointment

摘要

Politicians are to investigate the 'sketchy' process by which government body Transport for London (TfL) appointed Thomas Heatherwick to design the Garden Bridge. The £175 million project - which now has planning permission from both Westminster and Lambeth councils - was originally billed as being 100 per cent private-sector funded, but now has £60 million of public funding from the mayor of London and the Treasury.
