In the London Assembly, Caroline questioned the Mayor on progress with Crossrail, and the continued uncertainty as to the opening date and the total cost.
The Mayor confirmed that he expects the opening to be “in the first half of next year” and the final cost is yet to be determined…
Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting on Kennington London Underground station finally changing tomorrow from a Zone 2 station to a boundary Zone 1 / 2 station, said.
“This is a change I have long campaigned for, as the former councillor that represented the tube station. Rezoning Kennington tube formed part of our Mayor of London campaigns in 2000 with Susan Kramer, and then in 2004 with Simon Hughes.
After the Liberal Democrats gained a seat in the London Assembly elections, with Caroline Pidgeon reelected and Hina Bokhari joining her, Caroline said:
Result! Thank you Londoners for your trust in us and thank you London Liberal Democrats for all your hard work helping to elect a Lib Dem group to City Hall with Cllr Hina Bokhari.
And huge, huge thanks to the one and only Luisa Porritt - what a fabulous inspiring Mayoral candidate.
Jobs, Homes, Clean Air.
Three basic needs - and we’re being let down on all of them!
On a Thursday 6th May, vote London Liberal Democrats on all three ballots to take London forward.
Caroline Pidgeon and Luisa Porritt launched the London Liberal Democrats' flexible Travelcard policy at Oxford Circus on 27th April.
More flexible working means we now need to update travelcards to ensure Londoners get fairer fares. Introducing a travelcard with four days of travel for the price of three reflects our new way of working and gives Londoners a free day of travel around our city.
