Caroline's news

Transport for London will be putting more buses on the C10 route through Rotherhithe and Bermondsey this month after a long-running campaign by local residents supported by Caroline Pidgeon AM and by Liberal Democrat campaigners.

Passengers have complained for years about long waits, overcrowding and journeys being terminated before their final destination to ‘improve frequency’. Their concerns were backed by local Liberal Democrats on the Council, at City Hall and by former MP Simon Hughes.

Tom Brake MP, and Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat Mayoral candidate, have formally delivered a petition with 500 signatures opposing changes to bus route 463 changes. Transport for London’s Head of Consultation Peter Bradley officially received the petition in person.

Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the discovering by Architects’ Journal that the earlier version of the audit review into the awarding of design contact to Heatherwick Studio was significantly different and far more critical to the published version said:

Following her nomination as the candidate for the May 2016 mayoral election, watch Caroline Pidgeon's speech to the Lib Dem conference, bringing the Lib Dem Fightback to London.

Caroline Pidgeon joined Lib Dem by-election candidate Ben Maitland and other activists from across the capital out and about in South Camberwell Ward on Saturday 26th September.

Caroline knocked on doors and spoke to lots of residents about local issues and concerns. Pots holes was a major one as well as accessibility of local stations.
