Anyone who’s had to navigate blocked pavements knows exactly why this matters. Being forced into the road isn't safe and no-one should be put in that position.
This is a clear reminder that promises mean nothing without action.

5 years after the Government promised to fix pavement parking, we marked the “anniversary” with cake, candles & a giant card, Everything except the progress everyone was promised. Blind & partially sighted people are still at risk. Write to your MP: https://f.mtr.cool/jkdxpmteyo

Safe, accessible streets should be something we can count on. Yet 96% of disabled people told us they run into barriers whenever they leave the house.
We can all help make our streets easier to use. As it's #RoadSafetyWeek we're asking: what part could you play?

The Railways Bill came to Parliament on Nov 5. It offers the chance to rebuild Britain's railways so disabled people can travel with freedom, dignity and confidence. But only if words lead to meaningful action.

Accessible toilets shouldn’t be hit-and-miss. They’re essential for disabled people to travel with confidence. We shouldn't be stopped in our tracks because the loos we can use are locked, broken or missing.

#WorldToiletDay is TODAY! 🚽
🔍Today, the London Loo Alliance will be touring the transport network to inspect some of TfL’s public toilet facilities to see which stations are ‘on a roll’ and which stations are ‘loos’ing out.

Mobility means more than getting from A to B. Freedom to travel brings new experiences and opportunities.

Most journeys begin with walking or wheeling from our front door. But when repairs mean hazards and blocked pavements, our streets can become no-go zones.

A great opportunity to catch up on Isabelle's talk about the freedom to cycle. From the social model of disability, to why cycles (not just bicycles) are vital mobility aids for many disabled and older people, this is a brilliant and thought-provoking watch.
If you weren't able to attend Isabelle's talk last week about "Ensuring that Freedom to Cycle is Accessible to All”, the video of the talk is now available.

Exactly! When buses, trains, streets, stations - and tunnels and everything else - work for disabled people, they work better for everyone. With accessibility at the heart of society, we all gain.
This wheelchair user didn’t want to believe the lift wasn’t working at the other end of the tunnel. Disabled people should be at the centre of transport policy. #AndyLord #GreenwichFootTunnels @transportforall.org.uk @inclusionlondon.bsky.social

We all want our independence, but public transport is inaccessible for many Disabled People, so we need a car. The Motability Scheme makes that affordable for many of us.
