Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to help ensure step-free access at Heaton Chapel railway station.
I recently launched the next round of nominations for the Access for All (AfA) programme and welcome nominations for any station in Great Britain currently without step-free access.
In the meantime we are providing £1 million of funding to Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) for minor accessibility improvements and customer information systems through which Heaton Chapel station will benefit.
