To celebrate 30 years of the DDA remove the steps entering 10 Downing St
To celebrate 30 years of the DDA & to show more can be done that the step from pavement to the path of 10 Downing Street and from here into the house are permanently replaced by flat thresholds. At the moment temporary ramps are put out, these do not provide good access & demeaning to visitors.

Background
5-12-95 the DDA was passed now part of the Equalities Act. Yet 30 years later full and equal access to society hasn't been achieved.
Wheelchair users should be able to come and go from Downing Street as anybody else.
People think you cannot make heritage buildings accessible and therefore do not try, however the law actually encourages making heritage accessible. If Downing Street is seen to make remedial changes then other owners will.
Previous ministers for the disabled have promised this.
