The Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee will conclude its work this Parliament in March 2026 ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election. So the Committee has time to complete its work, it has agreed not to consider petitions submitted after 10 October.
The Committee will continue to meet but given the volume of petitions and agreed work programme it is unlikely that the Committee would be able to meaningfully progress work on petitions submitted after 10 October ahead of the election. Petitions lodged after this date will not fall when the Parliament is dissolved and will be for the successor committee to consider in the new session.
If you are seeking urgent action or policy change please contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly.
Closed petition PE1869: Make it law for all railway stations to have step free access
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to introduce legislation that requires all railway stations to have step free access.
Previous action taken
I have contacted the Scottish Government but received no reply.
Background information
People who have disabilities and are unable to walk up steps are appalled that the Scottish Government is not doing anything to make sure they can access ALL Railway Stations in Scotland. This means that some people who can’t drive are unable to get on a train either.
The Scottish Government NEEDS to do more so that people are not disadvantaged due to their disabilities.
