After a visit to East Sheen with local residents and Councillor Julia Cambridge to investigate Transport for London's plans for the area, Caroline has written to TfL to respond to the proposals.

Caroline said:
Responding to the latest revelations about the Conservative Christmas party during Covid restrictions where Conservatives were reportedly invited to a “jingle & mingle” event for Shaun Bailey’s mayoral campaign, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly Caroline Pidgeon AM said:
“It is an utter disgrace that while Londoners were doing their duty to protect one another, the Conservatives were planning parties.
Commenting on Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s call for police leaders to "ramp up" the use of stop and search, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member and Police & Crime Spokesperson Caroline Pidgeon AM said:
“The Independent Office for Police Conduct has already called for an end to the overuse of stop and search. The disproportionate use of stop and search on minority ethnic communities has contributed massively to a rise in distrust in the police in London.
Responding to the latest Ministerial Statement on HS2, which confirms extended delays to plans to connect the network to Euston Station, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon AM said:
“This latest Ministerial Statement just confirms more endless delays, demonstrating this Conservative Government has been incapable of learning from the failures of past infrastructure projects.
“Delays will likely lead to even more cost increases in the long-term alongside significant eyesores in local areas.
