Caroline Pidgeon AM, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, commenting on the severance payments set out in TfL’s Annual Report, and the decision of the Mayor of London to commission a review into notice periods and severance arrangements for senior staff across the GLA Group, said:
"Passengers will find these huge severance payments galling at a time when Tube reliability has been in decline and many bus services are being cut back.
"Ordering a review into future payments is no cover for the fact that these have taken place at a time when Sadiq Khan has been the head of TfL. The Mayor's actions are merely attempting to close the stable gate after the horse has bolted."
