Green Light for London Cruise Terminal, but Some Still Unhappy Over Lack of Shore Power
In a final stamp of approval, London's mayor, Boris Johnson, has given a green light for a proposed Greenwich cruise liner terminal, planned to be operational by 2017, local media reports.
However, some groups still remain in opposition against the terminal, including the Green Party of Greenwich and Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member, Air Quality News reports.
"In years to come I believe people will look back in amazement at the foolish decision by Greenwich council and the Mayor of London to give the go ahead to a cruise liner operating in a such a polluting way when far less polluting alternatives are available for powering cruise ships when berthed," said Pidgeon.
