The Conservative's parliamentary candidate for Greenwich and Woolwich has spoken of his "huge disappointment" after the Mayor broke his promise to reinstate tidal flow in the Blackwall Tunnel. Speaking during a wide-ranging interview with Greenwich.co.uk, the current leader of the Conservatives on the council Spencer Drury said, "I think it is a huge disappointment because it does create congestion unnecessarily. For years it worked perfectly well and I can't see why it suddenly had to change."
In the run up to the Mayoral elections, Boris Johnson promised to reverse the controversial decision to end tidal flow "at the earliest opportunity." The pledge gathered widespread support in the area and formed a major part of his transport manifesto. However, last month he admitted to LBC presenter Nick Ferrari that he would not fulfill his promise.
