Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 22 December 2021.
Given that, in percentage terms, Hammersmith & Fulham has one of the lowest rates of step-free Tube Stations of any London Borough when will there be step-free access at Putney Bridge?
Around 34 per cent of the Tube network will be step-free by the end of 2022, with upgraded stations including Harrow-on-the-Hill, Knightsbridge and Moorgate. Additional step-free schemes being explored beyond 2022 are subject to appropriate funding being available.
Transport for London (TfL) continues to work with stakeholders and developers to explore options for funding further work at other locations across its network, as well as to ensure safeguarding is in place while long-term funding options are identified.
Although TfL does not currently have plans to install step-free access at Putney Bridge station, it has recently launched a consultation that asks people who rely on step-free access how step-free stations should be prioritised in the future. The consultation is open until 10 February 2022, and can be found here: https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/tube-step-free-access.
