Caroline recently went to Sutton Civic Centre to meet with Leader of the Council Cllr Sean Brennan, Deputy Leader Cllr Ruth Dombey, Executive Member for Communities, Transport and Voluntary Sector, Cllr Simon Wales and Executive Member for Community Safety, Leisure and Libraries, Lord Graham Tope.
As Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group at City Hall Caroline wants to work closely with Lib Dem Councillors across London to help with local campaigns, particularly on issues such as transport, police, the environment and the legacy from the Olympics.
Sutton is the largest Lib Dem Group in London and is a great example of Liberal Democrats policies being put into practice such as around the environment. Sutton is also a pilot for the new coalition government’s big society initiative.
“It was really useful to chat with some of our leading Lib Dem Councillors in Sutton about working closely together on wider London concerns as well as some really specific borough issues such as the X26 bus, problems with nightbuses and the impact of Thameslink. I look forward to working even more closely with our Sutton team over the coming months and years” commented Caroline.
