How many people in London, UK and visitors from the global world attend this festival?

If you whas there then what was it like? Have you got any stories to tell us all?

Should all local authorities across the UK and global world follow the same example in following the same positive example of tackling 'Disabilism' of Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London in holding an annual London’s Disability Rights Festival every year in every major City and Town across the UK and Global World?

Yours

What about disabled access?

07.09.2006 07:00

People with a walking disability can't get onto the platforms of many London railway stations. Local councils are allowed to errect barriers on many shared use foot paths which make disabled access almost impossible. People who use bicycles as a mobility aid are ordered to dismount in public parks or be fined.
