Questions on matters relating to the work of the committee

Minutes:

Thames Tideway Tunnel and Tower Bridge

A Member commented that a recent press report had stated that the boring machine was edging towards Tower Bridge itself and there were concerns that it might have an impact on the bridge.  She questioned whether there was any truth in this and how the impact of these works was being monitored. She also mentioned the recent failure of the Bridge when it became stuck open and questioned whether the Committee might, at some point in future, have a report on Tower Bridge.

 

The Chair commented that there were various reports on Tower Bridge that came to this Committee but asked that he and the Member seek to discuss this specific point further outside of the meeting and consider how a more holistic report might be produced.
