Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with (a) Hammersmith and Fulham Council and (b) Transport for London since on funding options for the restoration of Hammersmith Bridge since 1 January 2026.

My Department engages regularly with London local highway authorities on matters related to their local highways networks, including both the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and Transport for London.

The technical advisory body to the Structures Fund is also having conversations on behalf of the Department about the future of bridges that local highway authorities have put forward to the structures fund; including Hammersmith Bridge.
