Plans for new Thames cycling and walking bridges

A follow-on story to the above. It's not clear to me what's going on here, but it seems that the private companies keen to run more ferry services tried to channel their bids through these organisations:

The request for the mayor to introduce the new electric ferry crossings - at three key locations east of Canary Wharf - was made by the Port of London Authority (PLA) in partnership with the Thames Estuary Growth Board (TEGB).

They commissioned studies that repeated what is well-known, anyway:

The two organisations commissioned a study by the consultancy Arup, which found that delivering crossings between the Isle of Dogs and North Greenwich, Royal Wharf and Charlton, and Barking Riverside and Thamesmead, would bring significant benefits by connecting some of London’s fastest-growing areas.

Now they're disappointed that the Mayor's not minded to proceed with these for the time being. Then you have a political complaint from an Assembly Member that's really too silly for words.
