Caroline was the guest speaker at Enfield Liberal Democrats' AGM in November.

Caroline talked about work on the London Assembly and discussed a number of key transport issues such as the 20% hike in bus fares, funding threats to the Freedom Pass and transport for the Olympics.

Caroline was the guest speaker at Leyton and Wanstead Liberal Democrats’ AGM in November.

The rise in bus fares of 20%, threats to the Freedom Pass and concerns about City Airport noise and expansion were just some of the issues discussed.

Caroline visited the new ticket hall at the underground at King's Cross station just before it opened at the end of November 2009.

The new ticket hall will help passengers get around form rail and bus to tube far more easily, and has disabled access to most of the platforms.

Local residents and campaigners are demanding action to improve safety at the Tiger’s Head junction where Bromley Road meets Whitefoot Lane and Southend Lane.
