Caroline Pidgeon shared the frustration of outer London residents that Transport for London's promised review of their bus services will now take five years to complete.
Caroline said:
“The Mayor and TfL have always defended cutting bus services in central London on the grounds that buses will be redeployed to outer London.
“It now seems that only part of that deal is being honoured – that of cutting bus services in central London.
Caroline joined local Havering residents at an event in Romford looking at public transport accessibility across Greater London. The event gave people with disabilities the opportunity to give feedback and hear about the services already on offer.
Caroline explained the importance of looking at these issues in detail:
The Met police are regularly not responding to 999 calls that are categorised as ‘significant’ in more than two thirds of London boroughs, new figures reveal.
The most recent figures that the Mayor was forced to publish, following questioning by the Liberal Democrat Londonwide Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon, reveal that in 21 of the 32 London boroughs the police failed to respond to 999 calls categorised as ‘significant’ within the one hour time limit.
Caroline took on the Mayor at Question Time over his support for the Silvertown road tunnel.
Caroline Pidgeon has criticised Sadiq Khan for the very slow rollout of interest-free childcare loans to the Greater London Authority's own employees, with just 35 having received the benefit in two and a half years.
Caroline told the Evening Standard:
“His actual record of delivery has been pitiful. There is a huge gulf between his words and actions.
“Over a period of more than 20 months he has provided childcare help for just 35 employees.
