	River Thames and boaty things
		Wandsworth Bridge, with its central span of 200 feet comprising seven high-tensile steel girders, was built between 1937-40 by Sir T Peirson Frank and replaced an earlier iron lattice bridge built by J H Tolme and opened in 1873 by Colonel Hogg MP.
		This railway bridge needed five spans and as the Thames Conservators insisted upon the piers of the two new bridges being in line, it was decided that the new road bridge would also have five spans.
		The Planning application for the Thames Gateway Bridge scheme was submitted to the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Newham on 22 July 2004 and planning permission was granted by the two Boroughs on 14 and 15 December 2004 respectively.

	Thames Gateway Bridge Enquiry Ends In Uproar r0504291 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Thames Gateway bridge is part of New Labour's massive and controversial road building scheme, set rolling by last year's "Future of Transport" White Paper (the 10 year plan for transport).
		It is being sold as a 'local bridge', but will in fact be a massive polluting motorway whose tolls will keep local people, in a mainly deprived area, from crossing whilst pumping clouds of smog into their environment and blasting the mainly residential area with noise.
		The Thames Gateway Bridge is the same motorway as the Oxleas Wood scheme which was famously defeated in 1993 - hot on the heels of the Twyford Down direct action campaign and the massive anti roads protest movement of the nineties.

		Although the land would be likely to be developed regardless of the bridge, the TGB would be likely to encourage a greater intensity and variety of use, which could increase the number of jobs created.
		The bridge would have a visual impact, but with careful design this impact could be positive in terms of a symbol of local identity.
		The report argues that the Thames Gateway River crossing is based on a flawed concept that providing new infrastructure to improve accessibility will translate to job creation of the type that will assist in the regeneration of East London.
