Caroline Pidgeon slams Greenwich Foot Tunnel fiasco

Caroline Pidgeon, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group and Vice Chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee, commenting on the recent admission by Greenwich Council that Greenwich Foot Tunnel will now only be fully open 24 hours a day from some time in June, said:

"The 1.5 million people who use the Greenwich Foot Tunnel every year have been totally let down by Greenwich Council.

"Over the last year they have shown total incompetence in communicating to the public the limited hours that the tunnel will be open and incredibly in February of this year they failed to properly announce its complete closure which took place over a few weeks.

"To add insult to injury their promise to finish work on the tunnel by March is now three months behind schedule."
