I am pleased to be standing here this evening with this petition on behalf of my constituents. It states: “The petition of Grove Park station users”— and local residents and local businesses— “Declares that the Station needs improvement.” It is shameful that these improvements have not already taken place. The petition therefore requests “that the House of Commons urge the government to work with Southeastern Railway” to undertake long-awaited improvements, which include enhancing accessibility, so that the station is accessible to everyone; improving safety by installing brighter lights, better CCTV coverage and regular security patrols; better shelter and seating; and better access to toilets. Local commuters deserve it.
