London mayor faces criticism from MPs, environmentalists and residents over river crossing
The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, is coming under renewed pressure to abandon plans for a new four-lane road tunnel under the River Thames after another Labour MP came out in opposition to the scheme.
Abena Oppong-Asare, the MP for Erith and Thamesmead, has written to Khan outlining her constituents’ concerns around the tunnel’s “continuously escalating” costs and its environmental impact in the midst of a climate and air pollution crisis.
