Parking on the pavement makes it harder for people in wheelchairs to get about. Pushing for accessible pavements will be a priority for ricky perrin (pictured), our candidate in the Kemptown by-election on 2 May.

Checked out 2 dozen different Tokyo train lines. Almost all had ramp & elevator access — to above & below ground lines. I tested more than 100 elevators. All worked perfectly. Why are US stations still without elevators and half of those with them don’t work?
