Ramp access at the end of Riggindale Road

There were two vehicle crossovers at the end of Riggindale Road, on either side, which were inaccessible.

The steps on each side meant it was very difficult for anyone using a wheelchair to use that route to get to Tooting Common. It was also causing problems for those with mobility impairments or using mobility scooters, as well as an inconvenience to parents pushing buggies and prams.

One was outside Pinkerton Place.


The other was outside number 2 Riggindale Road.


We asked the Council to ramp the vehicle crossovers, which they did a couple of days ago outside Pinkerton Place:


...and outside 2 Riggindale Road



This part of our ongoing project to make the environment around Streatham more accessible.
