As another emergency funding deal for Transport for London was put in place, London Assembly Transport Committee Chair Caroline Pidgeon stressed the need for a proper permanent settlement. Caroline said:
"This is welcome news, but these continued delays to a long-term solution are not useful, and TfL is not a political football. For the sake of TfL’s capital and revenue, a permanent deal needs to be in place.
Lib Dem London Assembly Members Caroline Pidgeon and Hina Bokhari joined London healthcare workers calling for the environmentally disastrous Silvertown tunnel project to be cancelled.
Caroline said:
We need to clean up London’s air. The Mayor needs to scrap his polluting Silvertown road tunnel!
Caroline joined Janet Grauberg, Luisa Porritt, Cllr Nancy Jirira and the fabulous Camden Liberal Democrats team, in West Hampstead on 23rd February. It was an excellent evening's campaigning!
Caroline Pidgeon AM, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting ahead of the start of Government-imposed fare rises of 4.8% for TfL services, compared to 3.8% for national rail fares, said:
Caroline had a great campaigning trip to Sudbury on 19th February, supporting Anton Georgiou, Paul Lorber and the Brent Liberal Democrat team.
There was lots of recognition for how hard Brent Lib Dems work to keep residents informed on local issues.
