TRANSPORT EVENT 27th November 2001

"It was a brilliant meeting as long as what was said was listened to and will be acted upon," said Josie Timms, Thistle tenant.

Quote from Steve O'Donnell Photographer: "What could be easier than getting on and off a bus? The people I photographed for this report showed me that when the system works, it works well. However our Public Transport system still has a long way to go. I can only hope that those involved in the Public Transport decision making process will continue to build on creating a transport system for all people."

Everyone's suggested solutions have gone into the Action Plan below.

The Democracy Disability and Society Group is a group of disabled and non-disabled people who meet at The Thistle Foundation to campaign for a fully inclusive society. We are currently campaigning to improve bus and taxi services so that everyone can use them.
