Unfortunately I can't make it, but I was wondering about a particular issue. Perhaps if someone else were interested they could table it for discussion?

"Item 7 Forest Hill Assemby Response(2) - 20 October 2010.PDF"
http://bit.ly/g7cz0X

From the PDF referenced above, it's stated that works on the Forest Hill subway will go forward. £104000 will be allocated for what amounts to a bit of redecoration. While I have no illusions about the inefficiencies of government contracts, I'm very worried that no provision is being made for step-free access.

http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyou/ac...llstations

The DFT Access For All Stations initiative got us step-free access from the west side (London Road) and Platform 1 to Platform 2, there is no such access from the east side via Platform 2. Disabled passengers must go around via the A205; those with buggies need assistance - which the station staff never offer.

One of the most suitable solutions, I think, is to build a ramp in the subway. I don't see TFL / DFT building a ramp for Platform 2. Perhaps we can push Lewisham to create a better connection for disabled people and those with children between the different sections of Forest Hill.

I would appreciate it very much if this could be put before the assembly for further action.

Thanks!
