Summary of request
I would like to request a full breakdown of all public monies spent on the 'Garden Bridge' project. It is essential this information is made publically available for a number of reasons. Firstly, given the dramatically rising levels of poverty and homeless in the city, justification for the spending needs to be made. Secondly, the public need to know how much, if any of this money is recoverable. Thirdly, as it stands, this bridge project seems to be the 'Fyre festival' of municipal planning. Without transparency, there is nothing to say this whole thing hasn't been a scam, as the organisation seems worthy of a Mel Brooks film.
Thank you for withdrawing any future public spending on this awful vanity project. Now please do what you can to make the financial records public.
Yours sincerely,
