UK government backs Walton Bridge plans

Surrey County Council's plans for a new River Thames bridge have been given the go-ahead by environment secretary Hilary Benn.

The council had given approval in January to the planning applications for the arch bridge linking Walton on Thames and Shepperton. The government could then have called in the application for closer scrutiny, but has decided not to and the scheme now has full planning permission.
