In the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee, Caroline questioned the Met Police Commissioner and the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime about the use of live facial recognition technology on London's streets.
A recent poll by Regional and Business Airports Group highlighted that 68% of neighbouring residents were not aware that the RAF Northolt military airfield was reopening for commercial use.
We need some clarity on what is happening to many of London's police stations, which have had their front counters closed and are at risk of having their land sold off. Unfortunately this week we have heard one thing from the Mayor and another from the Met, and this clip from today's Police and Crime Committee clearly demonstrates this.
TfL-funded rapid electric charging points need to be better run, and should stop ripping off owners of electric vehicles: this was Caroline Pidgeon's clear message to the Mayor at January's Mayor's Question Time.
Caroline spoke to ITV's Simon Harris on the admission by Transport for London that they believe Crossrail’s central section will open no earlier than Autumn of 2021 and with the Eastern and Western branches only opening well into 2022!
Caroline said:
Poor air quality and pollution are issues of huge concern to people across London. Caroline met with Chuka Umunna last week on Oxford Street to talk through how we can improve air quality, particularly in some of the busiest areas of central London. To tackle this, we need to take tough and decisive action.
At October's London Assembly plenary session, Caroline questioned the Mayor and the Met Police Commissioner regarding the increase in stop and search complaints. Their response was disappointing.
Caroline said:
Caroline Pidgeon's motion to the London Assembly, calling for the HIV-prevention drug PrEP to be more readily available to those in London and across England as part of routine sexual health services, was unanimously passed on 31 October.
Caroline Pidgeon and her colleagues on the London Assembly's Police and Crime Committee held a very important session on 30 October to review how to address domestic abuse.
The committee heard from organisations who work on domestic abuse about the challenges faced by victims and work that we can do, here in London, to support those who suffer domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is a real and growing issue and it is important that we look at new and innovative ways of tackling it.
