Boris wants better pram and wheelchair access

LONDON could undergo changes to make it more accessible for wheelchair users and mothers with prams in the run-up to the Olympics.

The Mayor has commissioned a major survey with input from those who find it difficult to get around the capital, particularly disabled and deaf Londoners.

The survey is part of Boris Johnson's Equal Life Chances For All consultation document, which he launched today.

He has already appointed wheelchair Paralympian Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson to advise the Transport for London board. Mr Johnson said: "How many times have we watched a wheelchair user or parent with a pram struggling [to move around the city]?"

He is also planning a similar document investigating violence against women.
