Caroline Pidgeon, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the Mayor’s reply to her question at today's Mayor Question Time, asking when the Thames cable car will be open to passengers, said:
"For the Mayor to state that the cable car will be completed when 'it’s good and ready' is totally unbelievable.
"It is simply staggering that the Mayor is throwing around £57 million of public money at the Thames Cable Car yet is totally incapable of giving any assurance as to when it will be open. The Mayor should get on top of this flagship project.”
The Docklands24 website, the Wharf newspaper and the Londonist blog all report on the cable car situation, highlighting the pressure Caroline put on the Mayor in Question Time at the Assembly.
The Evening Standard also reports on TfL's admission that the cable car may not be open for the Olympics, here.
