Correspondence with the Garden Bridge Trust & TfL re: the Garden Bridge

The request was partially successful.

Dear Greater London Authority,

Please make public all correspondence (written and by email) from 5th May 2016 to date between the GLA/Mayor's office and the Garden Bridge Trust, and between the GLA/Mayor's office and TfL concerning the Garden Bridge. Please also make public full details of all financial information about the Garden Bridge project that may have been provided together with this correspondence.

The purpose of making public this information is to allow the public to know the extent of oversight of this project, which is spending large amounts of public money, by the Mayor's office, and to understand better the degree of risk that, under existing guarantees, the Mayor will be forced to provide large amounts of further funding.

Thanks very much.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Francis

Greater London Authority

I am contacting you regarding your request for information which the GLA
received on 16 September 2016 relating to the Garden Bridge.

Firstly I would like to send my apologies for the delayed response. We are
still in the process of finalising our response, however, we have received
several similar requests for information on the same topic and one of
these requests (in part) covers the same breath of information as your
request. We will send to a final response in relation to  your request as
soon as possible.

In the meantime you may also find these previous FOI responses of
