Today Hon. Dennitah Ghati, HSC, Chairperson of the Commonwealth Parliamentarians with Disabilities (CPwD) network, spoke at our Global Disability Summit Summit event w/ Sightsavers. She explored how to remove the barriers that prevent persons w/ disabilities from equal participation in Parliament.
On 22 March we took evidence from NGOs on the impact of cuts to the UK aid budget. @hannahloryman of Sightsavers told us about the challenges facing people with disabilities. Read the transcript now published here: bit.ly/3tLYDtK #UKaid
.Southeastern your roaming mobility team didn’t turn up at Kidbrooke this morning. Lovely ticket office staff member got me on the train. Apparently this happened to someone else yesterday. What will happen when you close the ticket office?
Absolutely gutted. After train strikes, snow and who knows what else last year which cancelled my multiple bookings, I finally had tickets to see @GrantLeeTweets at PizzaExpress Live tonight. Now told the lift is out so I can’t go. Please come back to the UK ASAP 🤞
.Southeastern passenger assistance fail at Kidbrooke this morning. No assistance staff turned up despite pre-booking and no ticket office staff either!
