So proud to have been officially nominated for a Lifetime Achiever Award at the 2025 National Diversity Awards. What a way to mark my 60th birthday. Especially for someone who was told they wouldn't make it past the age of 5. Can't wait for the awards ceremony. Bravo to everyone nominated ❤️


Went back to Park Lane in London. Found part of the cycle lane closed. People observed riding on the pavement, on the floating bus stop island & past people waiting at or on the crossing. Westminster City Council Cycle Safety Team TfL please urgently do something as this is not safe.







.Heidi Alexander MP Lord Peter Hendy Simon Lightwood MP this scheme put down in lockdown needs to be removed please. Bus passengers need to get to their buses and this arrangement is simply not working.

It's such a small thing to ask that the Mayor appoints a London disability champion, but it could make such a huge difference. Today I asked him for the third time to act, and for the third time he refused. Needless to say, I'm not going to let this drop. Inclusion London
