BREAKING: London Assembly votes 16 to 1 to back motion calling on Sadiq Khan not to sign #gardenbridge maintenance funding guarantee
Tory @AndrewBoff says #gardenbridge is "a truly wonderful project unless you want to use it, live near it, or pay for it"
FloEshalomi Fully support @KeithPrinceAM on the need for additional bridges in other parts of London & not this 'folly' @follyforlondon @se1
Tory @KeithPrinceAM describes #gardenbridge as a "folly"
Tory @KeithPrinceAM agrees that public money has been wasted on #gardenbridge and other places have much more pressing need for new bridges
UKIP's @davidkurten AM calls for public inquiry into #gardenbridge - "huge and profilgate waste of public money" ... "a white elephant"
UKIP's @davidkurten AM says his group will back anti-#gardenbridge motion - highlights number of trees to be chopped down + loss of views
Green AM @CarolineRussell: "The case for the #gardenbridge doesn't add up"
Tory @GarethBaconAM says he won't support motion calling on Sadiq not to sign #gardenbridge maintenance guarantee
It's "far-fetched" to think that #gardenbridge trust will raise enough money to cover maintenance costs, @CarolinePidgeon tells Assembly
Now @CarolinePidgeon adds Lib Dem support to Lab motion re #gardenbridge guarantee motion
AM @FloEshalomi reiterates here belief that #gardenbridge is a "vanity project" not a transport project. "Not in the interests of Londoners"
AM @tomcopley to Sadiq: "Mr Mayor, please don't sign the #gardenbridge guarantee ... don't associate yourself with this white elephant"
London shouldn't "throw good money after bad" by signing #gardenbridge maintenance guarantee says @tomcopley
