For too long, Dagenham East Station has only had stairs down to the platform. No lift or slope access has ever been available, making it difficult for passengers with luggage, disabilities or children in prams etc.
The council has been lobbying for something better for many years and is now asking residents to support a campaign to change this. Some knocking at doors to get a form completed has taken place already as part of a wider campaign, but we are not going to give up this struggle until it actually happens.
