Willesden Green Station

“We the undersigned residents, traders, businesses and stakeholders urge you to make Willesden Green Station step free as a matter of top priority. The station with 30 steps is a prime candidate and meets your criteria for lifts at this station.
• The station is in zones 2 and 3, so heavily used. With 8.8 million journeys per annum it presents excellent value for money.
• The station is located in proximity to residential areas and requires lift facilities for accessibility for people with disabilities, wheel-chair users, older, infirm people, parents with push-chairs, and those with luggage.
• The station is suitably located adjacent to places of worship, such as mosques, churches etc., which are community hubs.
• We are at a stage of encouraging people to use public transport rather that their own vehicles.
We urge you and TfL to prioritise this station by including it in your £200m funding programme for step free access. Failing this, we request you to prioritise step-free access by including it in TfL’s business plan and work with Brent Council to explore part funding of the scheme through local funds raised from Section 106 and Community Infrastructure Levy requirements.”
