Greenwich Foot Tunnel should be a KEY Thames crossing - but with the North Side lift broken for months, disabled people, parents with prams, and cyclists say they're being cut off from jobs, family and everyday life.

Unfortunately it is not the "how" that is in debate here, it is the need to convince TfL to take over the Tunnels.It may be that some Statutory Instrument has to be laid down in the Commons to transfer ownership but that would only be if TfL agreed to take them over.

TfL may not be interested in taking on the foot tunnels but they are critical infrastructure providing a resilient way for people to cross the river east of tower bridge under their own steam. If TfL can build Silvertown Tunnel for people with cars then they can provide lifts for people on foot.

Not sure Riverlinx (nor TfL) should charge for walking through this tunnel. Surely poor PR for the mayor when he’s encouraging active travel.

We’ve heard some shocking stories of wheelchair and mobility bike users having to drag themselves up the stairs. We’re going to be leafleting at Island Gardens entrancevery close to the accessible DLR tomorrow from 5:30pm. @inclusionlondon.bsky.social please join us if you can.

North lift now working but for how long? And it makes no sense for just the one lift to work without the other. This completely excludes wheelchair users! @london.gov.uk @inclusionlondon.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social

I suppose perception is in the eyes of the beholder! It had just crept into the scene,saw me, and crouched in fear I think, before heading of.
