Caroline joined London campaigners Robin Meltzer, Chris Smith and Lewisham Leader Cllr Chris Maines campaigning with Janet Hurst, the Lib Dems' fantastic candidate for the Whitefoot by-election on Thursday 11th October.
Caroline Pidgeon AM, along with Greenwich Lib Dem campaigner Chris Smith attended a Greenwich Young People's Council on Saturday 6th October in Woolwich Dockyard. Young people form across Greenwich and members of the Youth Parliament organised the day to have fun and to discuss transport concerns from young residents.
"It was really good to meet so many young people and to hear directly their concerns regarding the accessibility of the transport network and safety. It was also a pleasure to meet David Hall and Michael Omoniyi again, local
elected young people from Greenwich who are doing such a good job" commented Caroline.
After the publication of Boris Johnson's diary revealed the depths of his links with News International, Caroline Pidgeon told the Observer:
It is time for Johnson to give evidence to the Leveson inquiry investigating the role of the press, police and politicians in the phone-hacking scandal.
Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the Mayor’s response to the Government’s Draft Aviation Policy Framework, said:
“Boris Johnson is certainly right to so strongly oppose a third Heathrow runway. Its impact would be devastating for so many Londoners.
Writing for Liberal Democrat Voice, Caroline Pidgeon says:
I spend most of my time arguing for our roads to be made safer and more attractive for cyclists and pedestrians and making the case for improvements in public transport.
However, reducing car traffic and making our towns and cities more attractive for local residents does not mean defending indefensible practices against motorists.
From today one of the worst injustices facing motorists has been ended, with a ban on wheel clamping on private land coming into force in England and Wales. North of the border this activity has been banned on private land for the last two decades.
