In the London Assembly, Caroline Pidgeon spoke in support of a motion calling for continued action against anti-Semitism in London.

Speaking to the 853 website, Caroline Pidgeon points out that the Mayor is regularly evasive over the facts that he claims support the case for building the Silvertown Tunnel.

Caroline said:

The London Assembly Liberal Democrat Group has obtained figures showing soaring rates of catalytic converter theft across London, with Barnet and Hillingdon the worst afflicted boroughs.

Group leader Caroline Pidgeon said:

“A crime that hardly existed in 2017 soared in 2019 and remains at worryingly high levels across much of London, with gangs most recently targeting cars in Barnet, Enfield, Ealing and Hillingdon.

Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting on the announcement that the Mayor has asked TfL to consult on expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone London-wide, said:

“I welcome this announcement. The extension of the ULEZ is right and necessary to tackle toxic air pollution. Air pollution does not stop at the South and North Circular.
