Responding to the announcement that the Finsbury Park Tube station has become step free, Local London Assembly Member, Jennette Arnold OBE AM, said:
“Today’s announcement is fantastic news, and it’s been hard won. For over a decade, I’ve worked with local residents to campaign for step-free access so that transport is accessible to everybody visiting, or living and working in, our local area.
“It’s great to see that Transport for London have now acted to improve accessibility and that local people will directly benefit.
“This work will make our station much easier to use for people with disabilities, and parents using pushchairs. It's an important way of making our local area that much more inclusive.”
