I simply do not understand Vincent Stops how the dumping of Lime & other e-bikes can possibly be compliant with the Equality Act.

The City of London is currently reviewing traffic restrictions at Bank junction

This week I had the privilege of being interviewed for BBC Access All to discuss some of the horrendous ableism we all too often see online. Why isn’t ableism taken as seriously as other hate crimes / hate speech?

Well about time re Mims Davies MP being made Minister of State. This role never should have been demoted. Disabled people deserve a full time Minister with the seniority to be able to deliver for them.

Three candidates to be the next mayor of London have refused to explain why they failed to turn up to a packed hustings event that would have allowed disabled people from across the capital to question them on their policies.

Inclusion London Sadiq Khan Susan Hall AM Rob Blackie 🔶 NFBUK Will Norman Rachel Blake Hyacinth expresses frustration with claims about inclusivity.

Floating bus stops are raised NFBUK

'It's no use saying they're going to review the safety - the safety should have been in place before. ... It's not inclusive, it's unsafe and inaccessible for people like myself who are blind who travel independently.' Hyacinth from NFBUK on bus stop bypasses #LondonMayoral2024

NFBUK Institute of Highway Engineers Flick Williams Living Streets I agree.

Well Network Rail London Euston ? What's the new taxi rank? A joke or are you really being serious? How can I list the cock ups in the design? I wonder, the DIA? That's one I'd love to see. Take it out, start again.

So Bradford council are installing those cycle lanes which NFBUK Mik Scarlet have been talking about… I’m not happy.
Bus stops which are separated from the pavement by a cycle lane are not safe for Disabled people.
