Yesterday morning I met with East Midlands Rail, Network Rail and local stakeholders to discuss identifying Sleaford Train Station as a priority location to bid for accessibility funding.
The Access for All fund seeks to ensure an obstacle free, accessible route from the station entrance to the platform for passengers with disabilities and those facing mobility restraints (such as heavy luggage or pushchairs). This plan would include a bridge with a lift to enable people to get safely and easily from one platform to the other and would be in keeping with the beautiful heritage station at the moment.
To help strengthen Sleaford's bid for this funding, we are asking if constituents could please email your experiences in accessing the station to: [email protected] including your full postal address.
