Lutonians all know that our train station isn't fit for purpose and isn't accessible for disabled people, those with mobility issues or families with children in buggies.

We deserve better - I'll keep pressing for a station fit for the 21st century.

@rach_hopkins Its interesting to note that our enquiry trends have mirrored Gov legislation very quickly. With forthcoming furlough changes month on month, we expect a similar staircasing of employment questions and UC claims

@ClaireJAstbury @rach_hopkins @lutoncllr True but planners need to be more courageous, ensure housing reflects local JSNA agenda (never happened in my experience) so health & social care can do their role in households, build on @PARKERMORRIS & @jrf_uk lifetime homes standards. Homes for heroes still applies but for all

Next week is my 20th year as a registered architect & charity CEO. I've met & continue to meet some inspiring people. Always celebrate who you are & what you can achieve. So far so interesting for a disabled kid who spent his first 5 yrs in care @SFCS_adoption @LLieutenantBeds

@kingqueen3065 @johnpringdns As a disabled registered architect, this is embarrassing. Would non disabled ppl use it...nope, so its not inclusive design. Clearly cost driven only. Interestingly staircases cannot be overlong without a safety change in direction......this must win a lazy design award @Tanni_GT
