Good to be on ITV news and BBC Radio London earlier to discuss @ageuklondon.bsky.social’s opposition to any watering down of the Freedom Pass, Listen to the radio interview from 3:08:00 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

We were pleased to see many MPs speak out in support of travel concessions for people over 60 in yesterday's debate. These concessions can be lifeline for many older people. We were pleased to discuss this matter with @tonyvaughanmp.bsky.social prior to the debate.

📍Inspecting the toilets at Seven Sisters Station @carolinerussell.bsky.social @inclusionlondon.bsky.social @gaillyk.bsky.social

Great to have @unitetheunion.bsky.social campaigning so strongly on toilet availability. It is a matter of public health and human dignity and also an issue of safety - if people are distracted by needing a toilet when driving a bus, that’s a risk that can be designed out by providing toilets.

#WorldToiletDay is TODAY! 🚽 🔍Today, the London Loo Alliance will be touring the transport network to inspect some of TfL’s public toilet facilities to see which stations are ‘on a roll’ and which stations are ‘loos’ing out. ✅Follow @londonlooalliance.bsky.social for more details!

There are so many reasons to blast Patti Smith out of the speakers but here's one if you need it. Happy birthday. Seeing her perform just after lockdown was a cathartic heaving comet of joy.

What's so scary this Halloween? 😱🎃 The haunting lack of public toilets in London! BOO! 👻 We're campaigning for better public toilet provision to make our city welcoming and accessible for everyone 🚽 Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming #WorldToiletDay actions on 19th November 👀

British.

Too many people from racially minoritised communities, like Madhuri, are being barred from access to home improvement. This leaves them in unsafe homes that don't meet their needs.

Great @bbclondon.bsky.social piece on bank branch closures in London. Closures are leading to financial exclusion for many older Londoners and there are far too few banking hubs being set up. 🧵(1st video of 2)

We were delighted to have @debbieweekesb.bsky.social write a great blog for us following her visit to Age UK Bexley for the International Day of Older Persons which we celebrate today. You can read the blog here bit.ly/DebbieWeekes...

Great to be @ageukeastlondon.bsky.social’s #IDOP25 celebrations. It’s the 25th anniversary of the City and Hackney Older Persons Reference Group

Our #TooLittleTooLate report looks at the inadequacy of the State Pension and social security system. Growing numbers of older people are living on incomes that fall short of recognised measures of minimum living standards. https://www.independentage.org/policy-and-research/TooLittleTooLateReport

Utterly shameful. “A component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display.” …. at the DSEI Arms Fair. How do people at the Arms Fair sleep at night? What do they tell their children? Thank you @sianberry.bsky.social for spotting that.

Much more can and should be done to help level the playing field for older Black Caribbean people. They have the same right to a happy and fulfilling later life as everyone else, but our report shows racism and ageism continue to impact them. Download it here 👉 https://bit.ly/3Ihz6mo

Fantastic. Great to see this Caroline. These will make travelling easier for many many Londoners. Thank you for your amazing campaigning and leading the London call for better provision. @londonlooalliance.bsky.social @ageuklondon.bsky.social

🚽 New public toilets are now open at White Hart Lane and Seven Sisters!    After years of campaigning, I persuaded the Mayor to invest £3 million a year for five years to install more toilets across the Tube and Overground.   This is a big win for everyone who helped me make the case.

New piece by @charleswright57.bsky.social on 25 years of the London Assembly. What has it achieved, where is it going, etc: www.onlondon.co.uk/charles-wrig.... @londonassembly.bsky.social. #london

Fantastic to see two London Loo Alliance members talking about toilets on BBC Breakfast this morning 🛋️ Thank you to Ray from British Toilet Association for your insight and to @gaillyk.bsky.social for your excellent interview 🚽🙌

We are pleased to see @london.gov.uk is looking to provide continued support for Pension Credit take-up campaigns which was one of our key recommendations in our On the Edge report. Our thanks again to @annebclarke.bsky.social for posing these important Qs 👏 www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

‼️Our survey found 57% of people were forced to come home early/change plans due to being unable to find a public toilet in London. 🚽Worries about not finding a toilet can discourage people from getting out and about, impacting their social interaction and excluding them from society.

📮We've been doing some work behind the scenes, writing to the Post Office to ensure the vital services provided by branches are maintained. Post Office branches are a lifeline to many older people. You can read more here⬇️ bit.ly/PostOfficeCl...

At City Hall with @londonlooalliance.bsky.social to see @carolinerussell.bsky.social’s motion. She asks the Mayor to write to government so councils have a duty to provide toilets with extra ringfenced funds - London Assembly gives unanimous support!

MOTION AGREED! 📢 We are delighted that the @londonassembly.bsky.social has agreed the motion to ask for the provision of public toilets to be a statutory duty for local authorities, and for funding to be ringfenced to allow this. Thank you @carolinerussell.bsky.social for all your support 😁

. @london.gov.uk will hopefully now write to the government about making the provision of public toilets a statutory duty w/ ring fenced funding after @londonassembly.bsky.social passed a motion proposed by @carolinerussell.bsky.social today. Glad about role player by @londonlooalliance.bsky.social

MOTION AGREED: We are asking for the provision of public toilets to be a statutory duty for local authorities, and for funding to be ringfenced to allow this to happen. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...
