After decades as a grassroots walking and cycling campaigner, Caroline Russell joined the Assembly in 2016 focussing on accessibility, healthy streets and road danger reduction.  

During her first term, Caroline chaired the Economy Committee, where she published reports investigating the financial health of Londoners and the wellbeing of night time workers. She published  a report on Climate Risk facing London, a rapporteurship on Hostile Streets as well as chairing the Environment Committee, where she investigated the causes of London’s cold, damp and mouldy homes  and the scale of unflushables making it into our rivers

In her second term, Caroline worked on policing producing reports outlining a goal for  Zero Murders, the scale of harm from images of knives on police social media and from Hit and Run collisions. She chaired the Police and Crime Committee investigating the Casey review and the need for police accountability focussing on disproportionality in policing with a report on preventing violence and protecting young people. Caroline also chaired the Health Committee reporting on drug harm reduction, trans healthcare and the loss of public toilets in London along with a London Loo League Table making the case for toilets on the tube.

Now in her third term, for the 2024/2025 Assembly Term Caroline sits on the London Assembly Transport Committee, the Oversight Committee, the Election Review working group, the Confirmation Hearings Committee, and serves as Group Lead of the City Hall Green Group. She will continue her focus on the need for more public toilets in London, and work with Londoners from Feltham to Finsbury and Barnet to Bexley to make the case for reducing road danger and for a city that is safe, convenient and affordable to get around for everyone, especially children, older and disabled people.
