Our Campaign reaches the House of Commons
On 9th September, Helen Hayes MP spoke in the House of Commons about the 10 train stations within her Dulwich & West Norwood constituency, focussing on accessibility and safety.
Helen Hayes specifically mentioned the Lift Up LJ Campaign by name and the issues present at Loughborough Junction Station.
It is extremely helpful to have the support of our local MP who has been very active in representing the needs of constituents who are effectively barred from accessing the railway network due to the conditions at many stations.
Campaign Launch Event 8th September
The Lift Up LJ campaign launch occurred on Monday 8th September.
We were based at Junction Cycles and had some wonderful visitors and various members of the campaign who were active in speaking with the commuter traffic and others who came by the station.
It was particularly nice to see a number of locals who had mobility issues attending outside the station, where access in and around the public realm space outside the station is poor and access within the station is pretty near impossible!
LJ Station - Questionnaire
We would be grateful if you could complete the attached questionnaire on accessibility and safety at Loughborough Junction station which will be an important part of our campaign and to help us understand the community's own thoughts about the station
