SOUTH EASTERN RAIL CONSULTATION:
DO THE PROPOSALS OFFEND THE EQUALITY ACT?

Absent a wholesale improvement in platform access at Lewisham station, the Progress Residents Association has questioned whether South Eastern Rail would breach its responsibilities under s20 and Schedule 2 of the 2010 Act were the consultation’s proposals to proceed.   Our response to it may be read in full at here, our comments on question 9 dealing with this specific issue.

Note for Editors:

Originally named the Well Hall Estate, The Progress Estate was built in 1915 to provide housing for the many additional workers the Woolwich Arsenal needed to manufacture the armaments required by the services during the First World War.   Conservation Area status was granted in 1975, in recognition of its unique architectural character.
