Make local train stations more accessible for people with physical and invisible disabilities. I want them to install wheelchair ramps and lifts to make them more accessible.
Why is this important?
Because I believe everyone should have equal rights regardless as to whether you have a disability or not. I believe the local train stations should be accessible for everyone.
Less than 60% of Greater Manchester's train stations have step free access. If ramps were available at my local train station I would have used these instead of the steps as they were hard to manoeuvre and I fell over.
