Following Hammersmith & Fulham Council's latest update on plans for a 'phased' reopening of Hammersmith Bridge, Cllr Hamilton said: "This latest update on Hammersmith Bridge is deeply disappointing.
"Instead of moving us closer to reopening, it locks in years more of congestion across south-west London.
"This will do further harm to residents and businesses and put even more strain on local transport networks.
"We urge Hammersmith & Fulham to work with the Government to get traffic moving across the bridge again. Wandsworth will continue to champion its full reopening to vehicles."
