Caroline Pidgeon AM and Brian Paddick, Lib Dem London Mayoral Candidate joined Streatham Lib Dem Councillors on Wednesday 19th October on an extensive walkabout on Streatham High Road.
The team met local residents and traders who had been affected by the riots, and met campaigners outside Streatham Police Station who are fighting to keep the front counter open to the public. They also saw the half completed upgrade to the central reservation which has gone on and on for years.
The team collected signatures outside Streatham Station campaigning for Thameslink trains to continue to go beyond Blackfriars once the new Thameslink timetable comes into operation.
“Many people rely on the Thameslink train services to get to the City or beyond to St Pancras or airports such as Luton. It is quite clear that local passengers must be properly considered in any alteration to the Thameslink timetable in the future” commented Caroline Pidgeon.
The day ended with a packed meeting with local residents, who told Brian and Caroline their concerns and priorities.
