PRIVATISE HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE?

Hammersmith and Fulham really have fallen down on the job of maintaining Hammersmith Bridge and it's all down to Stephen Cowan.
The Dame has been asking around to find out what Cowan's career path was prior to becoming a councillor....no one seems to know. It appears he's just another local government 'entrepreneur' funded by the poor bloody taxpayers!

A Beauty in the hands of a Beast!
Cowan who has had too many ineffectual years as leader. 
It's reminiscent of the dictatorship of Pooter Cockell so loath to give up his £100k plus a year that he hung on for twelve long years.
Time To Step Down

Leaders need to lead and mediocre leaders should step aside.





Hammersmith Bridge is likely to be closed for three years and probably much longer.
Part of this delay is down to "Porker" Cowan and his chum at TfL Sadiq 'Khan't do anything right'.
These couple of dimwits have known for ages the bridge was in a state of collapse but instead of biting the bullet and asking for the Dept of Transport to help muddled along with short term fixes. 
Transport Minister, Michael Ellis back in July said,"Neither the borough nor Transport for London has approached the department to seek funding to repair the bridge.”
He then added: “Transport in London is, of course, devolved to the Mayor of London. I have been astonished and exasperated in just the last couple of weeks in the department to see how badly run Labour London’s transport is, and I am astonished by the indolence of the Labour London Mayor, Sadiq Khan. Hammersmith Bridge is being neglected….by the Mayor, who is asleep on the job and by the Leader of Hammersmith and Fulham"

Londoners are now suffering massive traffic disruption but worse, according to RBKC, a surge in pollution to dangerous levels.

  1. Unacceptable situation for sure and although two wrongs don't make a right, the dire state of the bridge as well known to the previous Tory admin at H&F and to the same two-term Mayor de Piffle Johnson who is currently squandering hundreds of billions of taxpayers' money on his rapidly collapsing Brexit bridge to nowhere, while floating inane proposals about building a bridge between Scotland and N.Ireland.

    1. Yes, but the point is that 'Porker' Cowan refused to go to the Gov for ages

  2. What an absolute disgrace, the knock-on effect is to the whole of London; almost gridlocked. It has added an additional 30 minutes to my travel time everyday! And no doubt caused extra pollution from being stuck in traffic:
    30 x 5 days = 150 mins a week, 7,800 per year x 3 = 23,400 minutes of my time lost! 390 hours.

    So the question remains, how am I to be compensated for those lost 16 days?

    Another example of "full On" Dame, exposing rotten local Government and puffed up and self interested Councillors.

    Cowan looks and sounds like a huge waste of time and a pox on H&F residents. Infuriating that his mess is also dumping on the genteel residents of Kensington Chelsea. Gentle people should not have to put up with this trash

    1. Cowan is clearly a liability. Clear him out.

  4. What on earth are the Tories doing in Hammersmith and Fulham? Are they a toothless opposition like Labour in K&C?
