Update on Hammersmith Bridge from Possible
Report
It was the fifth anniversary of Hammersmith Bridge being closed to motor traffic, and we finally published our mammoth report on how it could become a permanent car-free crossing.
Press I
We had a double dip on Hammersmith Bridge this week, with the government announcing a £3m investment in a permanent cycle lane for the bridge. We got a quote in Forbes and a few other bits of sector press.
Press II
We also got some hits on the day of the anniversary itself, most notably in print in the Evening Standard. This was our second print hit of the week, and our third in two weeks!
Leo Murray, co-director of Possible, also appeared on LBC.
Social
A bevvy of Hammersmith Bridge content including some beautiful photos on the sunny anniversary and a brilliant video of Leo coming at you on a bike which has been posted in collaboration with Jeremy Vine.
