Progress on step-free access to local stations
Seven Kings & Newbury Park Resident's Association, along with other community and lobby groups, has been campaigning for step-free access at Newbury Park and Seven Kings stations.
It is great news, then, that an announcement has been made that Seven Kings station will have step-free access as part of the Crossrail development. Click here to read the story of this announcement in the Ilford Recorder.
TfL have also, in a separate press release, said that Newbury Park station 'could be made step-free with third party contributions and the LU fund.' While this is a long way from being a firm commitment on step-free access at Newbury Park, it is a public acknowledgement of intent on TfL's part which should be publicised and on which they should be regularly questioned and asked for updates on progress.
