At Mayor's Question Time, Caroline Pidgeon raised her concerns over the numerous recent reports of serious misconduct in the Met Police. Caroline called for a review of recruitment practices, as well as clear rules requiring the declaration of membership of organisations, including the Freemasons.
In the London Assembly, Caroline Pidgeon asked the Deputy Commissioner of the Met why there has still not been a clear apology for the corruption involved in the Daniel Morgan case.
Caroline said:
I still believe we need to see a more reflective attitude from the Met and a willingness to learn the lessons from this damning report.
Caroline Pidgeon has welcomed Transport for London's cancellation of its plans to make the Tube cash-free.
Caroline told the Evening Standard:
“This is a welcome announcement. For a long time TfL’s strategy was to remove by stealth the ability to use cash at its station ticket machines.
“The decisions it made last year on removing cash payments were based on zero consultation with passengers and little real evidence of passenger or staff safety.
On Clean Air Day, Caroline Pidgeon pressed the Mayor of London to clarify the exact air monitoring arrangements for roads leading to his Silvertown road tunnel. Will dangerous particulate matter be monitored on all approach roads to this tunnel? His lack of answers so far cannot continue...
Marking the fourth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, Caroline Pidgeon said:
