Greenwich Lib Dem blogger Chris Smith reports on the weekly figures showing the lowest usage yet on the Thames cable car, and echoes Caroline Pidgeon's concerns that the cable car is being managed more as a tourist attraction than a serious form of transport.
Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group and chair of the London Assembly transport committee, commenting on the announcement that manual boarding ramps on the Tube which were introduced during the London 2012 Games at 16 Tube stations will now be kept and extended to more stations, said:
Caroline Pidgeon AM and Simon Hughes MP were delighted to officially open the Archway Studios in Walworth in early December.
Archway Studios is a unique Live-Work building, built on brown field site in Newington Ward, Southwark and home to Undercurrent Architects.
As a local Councillor Caroline supported Didier and Dominic Ryan with their unique application to build their studios.
"It was amazing to see such an amazing building created in such a small space" commented Caroline.

Caroline joined our candidate Marisha Ray campaigning in Croydon North in the parliamentary by-election on 29th November.
Caroline and the team knocked on doors talking to local residents about concerns such as policing, transport and the environment.
Caroline was joined by Simon Hughes MP trying out the new London Overground Service from Surrey Quays in Rotherhithe to Clapham Junction. The team went out on the new route on its first day of operation on Sunday 9th December. Simon and Caroline had also been out the day before supporting local campaigners against the final day of the South London Line from Victoria to London Bridge. The new line does allow many more journeys to be made in Zone 2 avoiding busy Zone 1.
