Sarah Olney calls for the Hammersmith Bridge to be funded
3 Jul 2026
Sarah Olney, MP for Richmond Park, has publicly written to the Transport Minister calling for immediate government action. Since 2019, Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to traffic. With both Conservative and Labour governments failing to act, leaving residents uninformed. Over 100 protesters joined me to highlight the impact. I raised the issue in Parliament, urging the Transport Minister to be more transparent. With the Department for Transport identifying the bridge as a strong funding candidate, I am calling for immediate government action.
Repair our Hammersmith Bridge!
