Caroline was proud to speak in favour of a motion in the London Assembly on taking more action to prevent new HIV infections and to support those living with HIV.
Caroline said:
There’s much more we must do including tackling stigma and expanding access to PrEP, something I’ve long pushed for.
Questioning the Mayor, Caroline pushed again for urgent action to ensure the Holborn Gyratory is made safe for cyclists.

We were promised action 3 years ago. Covid can’t be blamed for everything.
In addition to questioning some members of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel, Caroline also questioned the Met Commissioner on the serious implications of the case.
There are still many more questions to be asked around the handling of this case, and on wider issues of corruption.
Caroline Pidgeon discussed the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel report with the Panel's chair, Baroness O'Loan, to understand the difficulties the Panel faced in securing the Metropolitan Police's cooperation, and getting access to the documents they needed.

At Mayor's Question Time, Caroline raised the issue of the chaotic Euro 2020 final scenes at Wembley.

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.

EU citizens help make London the great city it is.
In the London Assembly, Caroline questioned the Mayor on progress with Crossrail, and the continued uncertainty as to the opening date and the total cost.
