Commenting on the plan for a three month closure of Greenland Pier in Rotherhithe - used by many commuters for the Thames Clippers ferry service, Caroline Pidgeon said:
People always overlook the river. It's such an important means of travel for so many people and this pier closing for three months is really bad news.
It shows the Mayor doesn't take river transport as seriously as others do.
How do the passengers get around while these works are on? They wouldn't close a Tube or rail station without making adequate provisions.
The river is a key mode of transport. The amount of people that commute from Southwark to Canary Wharf this way is huge.
