Calvin Bailey MP has launched a petition calling for step-free access to Snaresbrook station.
“Step-free access is so important for our disabled and elderly residents and families with young children. Currently, people with mobility challenges struggle to make quick, everyday journeys from this station. Improving accessibility would not only support these residents but also boost local businesses by encouraging more people to visit Wanstead,” said the Leyton and Wanstead MP.
The petition – which is also gathering personal accounts of station use – will be presented to TfL and the Mayor of London to show why Snaresbrook is in urgent need of step-free access.
The station was used for over 1.8m journeys in 2024, whereas nearby South Woodford station – which was made step-free in 2019 – facilitated over 4m journeys.
