In the Mayoral Decision 1472 signed by the previous Mayor on the 4th June 2015 it was stated that the estimated total cost for construction, inclusive of VAT, was £169 million, however at present the Garden Bridge Trust states on their website the project will cost £185 million in total. What assurances, if any, have you received from the Garden Bridge Trust about the final cost of the project, especially following Lord Davies of of Abersoch's statement on BBC Newsnight on the 17th August that the expected completion date for the Garden Bridge will now be 2019?
