HC Deb 23 April 2002 vol 384 c174W
16. David Wright

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what good practice his Department has recently recognised in respect of councils promoting better physical access and mobility within their areas. [49409]

Ms Keeble

Earlier this month we announced that Telford and Wrekin Council, Nottingham County Council, and the London borough of Lewisham had been awarded beacon status for their good practice on access and mobility. Aided by increased local transport plan funding, and the sharing of good practices, authorities can help to make our society more inclusive by improving access to work, healthcare, education, and other key services and facilities.
