Make the London Underground more accessible for wheelchair users

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

To make the London Underground more accessible for wheelchair users by adding a lift at every station etc. I am a wheelchair user and it is impossible for me to have an easy day traveling around London due to the lack of accessibility.

Being a wheelchair user myself, it is extremely difficult to travel around London easily. Only a select few London Underground stations have lifts, and large gaps between the tube itself and the platform. It will increase the number of disabled people travelling to London, and it will stop us from feeling singled out.
I recently booked a trip to London, travelling from Norwich to London Liverpool Street, then to Euston Station, and it came to my attention the amount of lifts that there are.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about accessibility of the London transport network are a matter for Transport for London, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

The London Assembly has its own petitions process. You can find out more about how to petition the London Assembly here: https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/london-assembly/petitions
