Despite the allocation of £485 million in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' recent Budget, Transport for London (TfL) insists that long-term funding is essential for the urgent repairs needed for the Rotherhithe Tunnel.
As the Rotherhithe Tunnel continues to deteriorate, it poses an increasingly urgent need for repair, with past estimates of the total cost now expected to rise significantly due to inflation.
Keith Prince of the City Hall Conservatives criticized the mayor for not disclosing requests made to the government about the needed repairs, leaving Londoners unaware of the efforts to secure funding.
The Department for Transport emphasized that while TfL manages the Rotherhithe Tunnel, the need for comprehensive and long-term funding remains critical for its maintenance and future operation.
