Hey @northernassist
Could you explain why it is £68 to travel with a wheelchair, compared to £27 without, on your partnership-provided taxi service, advertised through your website?
Ludicrous offensive and illegal discrimination.

This is utter tosh.
@northernassist are radically cutting the number of staffed station hours, by 60%.
✅ Pledges from rail companies to passengers and staff about proposals on how tickets are sold ✅
Across the network as a whole, there will be more staff available to give face-to-face help to customers out in stations than there are today.

Sign posts can make getting around streets difficult for some disabled people
They take up pavement space, are another obstacle for people to navigate and can sometimes be pretty pointless
But, if we’re going to have them, how can we make sign posts better?
I’ll go first…

We must protect our ticket offices to keep our trains safe, secure and accessible to all! Take two minutes to write to your local train company @RMTunion #SaveTicketOffices nwmd.io/s/twitter/Zx89BTjEHP…

Following another heartbreaking report into the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Trust (NSFT), @Jess4Waveney, @AliceMLabour and I have issued a joint statement.
How many more families have to suffer before things change?
It is time for the Government to put an end to this misery.

The government wants to support more disabled people into work. But without text-to-speech screen readers, dictation software, and electronic braille displays, disabled people will struggle to find work because of a complete lack of assistive technology.

The minister for disabled people is facing calls to resign after posting a hostile and “dangerous” post on social media that warned benefit claimants his department would “track you down” and “bring you to justice”.

Disabled people and their supporters including Judi Dench have protested at York Council's permanent ban on disabled parking in the city centre. The time to end the discrimination that prevents disabled people playing a full part in York is long overdue. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04…

I was delighted to welcome @Bill_Esterson to #Ipswich and showcase the amount of talent, ambition and vision that we have here.
Huge thanks to @suffolkchamber for gathering together such an impressive array of business leaders at @WTWcorporate's iconic Willis Building.

FREE LEGAL OPINION:
This would not constitute an offence under the Public Order Act.
And it is deeply troubling that any police officer would think that it might.
