Liberal Democrat — Hazel Grove

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2025

Debate

Stations: Step-free Access

Contribution

My hon. Friend is laying out the case very clearly for more certainty about the future of Access for All funding, and the real, crying need for many of our communities to have level access to public transport. Does he agree that stations such as Bredbury in my constituency, where a passenger can travel in one direction with level access but not in the other, are affecting people’s decisions about whether to take employment—making this a growth issue for our country, not just a fairness issue?
