You asked
I read this article https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/exclusive-new-l-shaped-route-proposed-for-rotherhithe-crossing/10037464.article saying the public consultation due this autumn is now not until spring next year "following “major issues” with the bridge design."
As a Rotherhithe resident I would like to know how much money has been spent to date on this bridge project before it even gets off the ground and who's funding the project during this embryonic stage. Your reply is much appreciated.
