This is what our President who is blind said about the bus stop design where you step off the bus onto a narrow bus boarder next to a cycle lane on Lea Bridge Road, Waltham Forest ‘Not fit for purpose. It really is totally inaccessible. These sorts of designs should be scrapped’

This is Kasia @simonlightwood who you walked past in a hurry outside the House of Commons Committee Room so you could ensure the Bus Services Bill 2025 got through the Parliamentary process. What’s your message to Kasia now? @andyburnham @stephenctimms @Heidi_Labour @LordBlunkett
.@andyburnham pls act on Kasia’s message @10DowningStreet ‘You cannot make floating bus stops accessible because they are inherently wrong. There is nothing that can be done & the only way to make bus stops accessible & buses accessible is placing bus stops back on the pavement’

They're gonna pedestrianise it permanently whatever the feedback. They don't care if a disabled or elderly person can't access places. Vanity project, ridiculous. As for bikes being banned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you to @newdawn75 for her message to @andyburnham @10DowningStreet ‘Well unfortunately we are back here again, because no one is listening to us. Mr Burnham I want all floating bus stops to be halted. It is dangerous when you get off a bus with a white cane or a Guide Dog’.

Sarah is back at @10DowningStreet asking why are floating bus stops still in use. @NFBUK have been campaigning against this for a long time now and it's time planners listened and made streets safe again.

This campaign against floating bus stops needs all our support. Terrible idea. Are you listening @andyburnham 🤔

It’s that time of the year again where all the extra plinths get placed in front of shelving for Xmas, which coupled with general poor & thoughtless management of shop floor space means that unless you can shape shift you are royally #DisabledByTheSupermarkets

Pensioner calls out ‘watch me’ as e-bike rider jumps red light at speed directly infront of her at St Thomas’s Hospital in London. One of many people riding bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters & cargo bikes in this manner. This is terrifying, dangerous & illegal.

@russellquirk Floating Bus Stops are dangerous for pedestrians. Especially for the blind and visibly impaired members of the public. You really need to look at this again please 🙏. @Iromg
