A party boat carrying West Ham fans crashed into Hammersmith Bridge on 10 December, causing approximately £100k in damages. Transport for London (TfL) has been holding fortnightly meetings with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) and the Department for Transport to discuss the cost of repairs. However, these meetings have not been officially recorded, as revealed by Lib-Dem MP @sarahjolney1, who was informed by @HuwMerriman. The incident, involving the MV Emerald of London, has led to an increase in the repair costs for the bridge.
