Transport for London has proposed heavy cuts to London's bus services, affecting 23 boroughs, and scrapping 1 in every 20km of bus routes.
Caroline Pidgeon said:
"TfL's proposed bus route changes and cuts are concerning. There have been warnings for months, but these proposals are such a shock. More Londoners travel by bus than any other mode of transport, and buses reach every corner of our city.
With the long-awaited central London section of Crossrail now finally open after many delays, Caroline Pidgeon wrote at the OnLondon website:
Caroline Pidgeon AM, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting on today’s announcement of a consultation on extending further the Ultra Low Emission Zone, said:
“I welcome this consultation. While there are many important details that need to be addressed, the extension of the ULEZ is ultimately necessary. Air pollution is not a problem that stops once someone crosses the North or South Circular Roads.
Caroline Pidgeon has written to the Mayor of London, pressing him to lobby the Government on the impact of compulsory calorie labelling on those with eating disorders.
Caroline said:
I've written to the Mayor sharing my concerns and those of leading campaigners, including Hope Virgo, over compulsory calorie labelling and the impact on those with eating disorders.
I hope he joins the lobbying efforts on this important issue.
As the government announced its plans to legalise private e-scooters on public roads, Caroline Pidgeon warned of the need for tough regulatory standards - including an acceptable speed limit, and safety measures such as lights.
Caroline stressed:
“Most importantly, it is vital that e-scooters remain illegal on pavements and that the police properly enforce the law in this area.
“The needs of pedestrians and especially blind people must not be overlooked.”
