Following the disappointing news that the plan to extend the London Trams network to Sutton will not be progressed, Caroline Pidgeon said:
"Residents in Sutton have been waiting 20 years for this scheme, which would link them to the wider Tube network.
"With Labour having expanded ULEZ to outer London, it is now even more vital.
"London Liberal Democrats will continue to push for the project to go ahead."
The Liberal Democrats have pushed the Mayor to reconsider his decision to drop plans to extend the London Trams network to Sutton should more funding become available.
Caroline had a great trip to Sutton to meet parliamentary candidate Bobby Dean and a fantastic group of local Lib Dems, and to receive their petition to stop the cuts to the 213 bus route.
The Mayor and Transport for London have claimed that there will be two new buses in the Borough of Sutton. Unfortunately, as Caroline Pidgeon's questioning of the Mayor revealed, there are no new bus routes – just tweaks to existing ones.
Caroline had a great campaigning trip to Sutton, joining Cllr Ruth Dombey, Sam Cumber and the team to talk to local voters.
Caroline had a fabulous sunny day campaigning in Sutton with London Assembly candidate Hina Bokhari, Councillor Jenny Batt and the Merton Lib Dem team.
Caroline had a great trip to Wallington to campaign with Siobhan Benita and the team for May's London elections.
Caroline spent a super morning on 23rd November helping fabulous candidate Hina Bokhari in Sutton. It was great to see such positive energy from Hina and the team, and great to be joined by Cllr Luisa Porritt MEP and Council Leader Ruth Dombey too!
Caroline Pidgeon has expressed her strong concern after obtaining documents through Mayor's Questions which reveal that Transport for London toned down its report on London Trams' safety issues, under pressure from the tram operating company.

Caroline and Siobhan Benita joined Lib Dem candidate Barry Lewis to campaign in Wallington North ward in Sutton - where a by-election is coming up on 28th March.
