GMB welcome outcome of successful campaign by members for step-free access at Sudbury Hill Station

GMB members are responding to the concerns from local residents, and getting the barriers removed for those with disabilities, those with pushchairs and limited mobility and this is something we will continue to do says GMB London

Three GMB members and new Harrow councillor candidates for Harrow on the Hill Ward; Dan Anderson, Honey Jamie, and Sarah Butterworth, have successfully campaigned for Sudbury Hill Station to be step-free.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced Sudbury Hill as one of 13 tube stations to go step-free by spring 2022 as part of a £200 million investment.

Dean Gilligan, GMB Rep said:

“GMB members are responding to the concerns from local residents, and getting the barriers removed for those with disabilities, those with pushchairs and limited mobility and this is something we will continue to do.

“The London Region's political education has certainly enabled GMB members to be confident in getting involved and applying to be councillors.

“Harrow on the Hill is a marginal ward, currently with two Tory councillors. The hard work, commitment and solid campaigning from our members will bring about change in the May local elections.”
