Disabled people and parents with prams are increasingly being stranded at supposedly ”accessible” Tube stations due to an absence of trained staff.

As questions grow over the independence and objectivity of the bidding process for the Garden Bridge project, Caroline Pidgeon told the Guardian:
“As serious public money will be spent …it is vital that we have every confidence that the procurement process was carried out to the highest standards.
Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the latest teenage stabbing in Islington, said:

“Sadly the harsh reality is that knife crime has increased across London.
Caroline Pidgeon AM has spent most of the General Election campaigning for Simon Hughes MP in Bermondsey.
The reception on the doorstep has been really positive and lots of people have been out on the doors including Tim Farron MP and Liz Lynne former MEP and MP, as well as Baroness Sarah Ludford and our local Lib Dem Councillors and activists from across the capital and beyond.
Caroline joined Lynne Featherstone MP and a fantastic team in Hornsey including Baroness Northover, Stephen Knight AM, local councillors and Mike Tuffrey, Chair of the London region party, out on the doors in Muswell Hill on 22nd April.
