Greater London Pensioners' Conference

Caroline Pidgeon AM was one of the guest speakers at the Greater London Pensioners' Conference in Camden on Saturday 6th November.

Caroline spoke about transport in London including issues with buses, pedestrian crossings and door to door services such as dial-a-ride.

Caroline answered many questions on a range of subjects including most on the Freedom Pass and its future.

“Many London pensioners are really worried about the future of their Freedom Pass after the Mayor of London pulled out of the five year deal with the London Boroughs. Boroughs now face a £22 million gap for the next year. The Mayor must be reasonable and ensure that boroughs can continue to afford this wonderful pass for London’s pensioners and people with disabilities and pay for his 24 hour part of the pass” commented Caroline.
