Caroline Pidgeon, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the Mayor’s decision this week to give the go ahead for a cruise liner terminal at Enderby Wharf in Greenwich, said:
“The decision by Greenwich Council and now the Mayor of London to reject using off shore power for this planning application is highly regrettable.
“In years to come I believe people will look back in amazement at the foolish decision by Greenwich Council and the Mayor of London to give the go ahead to a cruise liner operating in a such a polluting way when far less polluting alternatives are available for powering cruise ships when berthed.”
