Caroline Pidgeon has welcomed news that a blue badge scheme for people less able to stand on public transport will be introduced on a permanent basis in the Spring.

Caroline said "As someone who has long supported this scheme being introduced as a trial I very much welcome it now being permanently rolled out across London."

“This is a small but really practical initiative that has greatly helped many people with hidden disabilities and medical conditions.”

“The scheme is a good example of TfL listening to the needs of passengers and then meeting them.

 “I hope 2017 will see many more examples by TfL.”
