The link that is provided below gives a newspaper article which praises the Royal Borough of Kingston. Within, it explains that this borough is only one of two London boroughs to successfully meet accessibility criteria. This Royal Borough, along with the City of London can now claim that every bus stop in their borough is now fully accessible.
"Ensuring that disabled people and wheelchair users are able to readily access public transport is a basic right," says councillor Terry Paton
There are always dissatisfied critics.
Unsurprisingly there are reactions. Kingston meets this accessibility criteria, there will always be those who fall 'outside of criteria levels', and disagree.
I feel that the RBK must be thanked for showing leadership by example. This is such a huge topic, we must accept that 100%, universal satisfaction is impossible, but attaining such a high level is appreciated.
