I'm afraid there are some very sad people in SE23,
who see any request for help getting about FH for people with buggies,
the partially disabled and worst of all cyclists as outrageous.

And they have the ear of the council and the 2 main societies, so that is why we will most likely be stuck with these stairs for the foreseeable future, just like we are stuck with the 27 steps at the underpass for instants.
