Matthew has attended the most recent meeting to discuss progress on the introduction of step free access at Mill Hill Broadway station. The station was awarded 'Access for All' funding by the Government in 2019. This followed a long campaign by Matthew to ensure that all his constituents have access to train services at the station.
Last September Matthew asked about progress from the Department of Transport and was advised that the project will be completed by 2024 at the latest.
Since then, work has continued apace and confirmation was given at the recent meeting that the project is on schedule and preliminary surveying will be taking place in the next few weeks.
Matthew said: "Given my experience of working with Network Rail in the past, I am keen to ensure that feasibility studies and value for money reviews are undertaken on every aspect of the project. This takes time but is necessary to ensure the taxpayer receives the best possible outcome. As the project is part of the 'Access for All' programme it will occur, but like all big projects, it will take time."
