Waltham Forest Council is enhancing accessibility for mobility scooter users following resident concerns.

In July 2026, Waltham Forest Council committed to accessibility enhancements across the borough. This followed concerns raised by a Queen's Platinum Champion, who urged improvements for mobility scooter users and challenged councillors to experience the area from their perspective.

The champion highlighted specific needs including more accessible shops, the repair of missing dropped curbs, and better road and pavement conditions. The council's commitment aims to address these issues and enhance inclusivity for residents with disabilities.
