I’ve requested (to the Council’s Highways Department) that the LTN in West Green Ward is suspended during these works on West Green Rd, starting next week, for a month!!

(Not sure why they couldn’t wait until Summer school holidays 😩)

Will keep you updated!

@Arsenal @IslingtonBC council whilst you celebrate today the achievements on the field you should hang your heads in shame at your poor performance in regard the parade, no accessible viewing platform for wheelchair fans ! @SkySportsNews @BBCNews @itvnews @InclusionLondon

Secret filming in Winterbourne View showed staff abusing Disabled people in hospital. 15 years on, people with learning difficulties and autistic people can still be detained for years. We do not know how many are abused behind closed doors. Enough is enough: Free Our People Now!

Has been organised in consultation with Islington Council ! Authority to hold the parade should never have been agreed without meeting the needs of disabled people, the council do not get to say not within our control it was and is !

Despite reaching out to Arsenal FC, Islington Council and the Labour administration for clarification, Disability Action in Islington has received no response.

Today I met a 79 year old woman who was found by bins with her walking frame and the clothes on her back after being evicted from her home by bailiffs.

Spent a few hours at the council and they’ve placed her in a hotel until Monday.

We have to do everything to make sure this doesn’t end up become the norm.

Huge congratulations to Iris, JJ, Leo, Liya and Skyler from Blanche Nevile School for Deaf Children on being nominated for a prestigious Into Film Award! 🎬🏆

These talented young filmmakers from Haringey are proving that when barriers are removed, D/deaf children can thrive, create and inspire. We wish them the very best of luck at the awards ceremony in Leicester Square on 16 June.

Ahead of the planned Arsenal parade on 31 May, Disability Action in Islington is concerned by reports that there appears to be no designated wheelchair viewing area or accessible viewing space along the parade route.

Accessibility should be a fundamental part of planning major

and how D/deaf and Disabled people have been considered in the planning of the event.

Nothing about us, without us.
