Following the mayor's statement on the regeneration scheme's progress, Caroline Pidgeon AM, Lib Dem spokesperson on transport, has responded as follows:
"Southwark Council has worked up this scheme with TfL for many years and in fact TfL gave approval in March and the LDA signed off the funding in September.
"At this late stage it's extraordinary for the Mayor to be reviewing this and making up his own scheme which isn't as beneficial for cyclists and pedestrians. That's why at Mayor's Question Time next week I'm calling on Mayor Johnson to meet with me and the leader of Southwark Council.
"It's clear that TfL officers have no clear direction or idea of what the Mayor wants or what they should be doing."
MQTs is next Wednesday morning. See a full list of AMs' questions here.
