From a party news release:

Caroline Pidgeon, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Transport spokesperson, has become the new leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group.

She takes over from Mike Tuffrey, who has led the group since 2006.

Commenting on future plans for the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group Caroline Pidgeon said:

“The concerns of Londoners are the concerns of Liberal Democrats at City Hall.

“We recognise the vital importance of tackling crime and the fear of crime that affects every area in London. We will continue to be at the forefront of the campaign to protect police numbers and ensure that there is effective policing throughout the capital.

“Our key priorities also include an increase in affordable housing, improvements in London’s public transport and real action to improve London’s environment, especially the scourge of the capital’s poor air quality.

“As we take forward this agenda we will ensure the Mayor of London is held to account every day of the year. We will not hesitate to challenge the Mayor when he fails to deliver for Londoners.”

Congratulations Caroline.

    This is great news. Sorry to resort to FOCUS-speak but Caroline is a worker and a winner!

    I wonder if Caroline will be pushing to redefine a “majority” to be 55%?
