Access and Inclusion

How can we make the restored Palace of Westminster more welcoming and accessible for you and others?

If you’ve been to the Houses of Parliament before, how accessible and welcoming did you find the building? What changes to the building or facilities would have made your experience better or easier?

If you were going to the building in future – whether as a visitor, an employee, or even as a future MP – what would make you feel at home and able to access the building?

Between June and July 2021 we asked for your views and ideas about how we can make the Palace of Westminster a more welcoming and accessible. 

The views and ideas shared will help to inform the detailed and costed restoration and renewal plan. You can look at what people said below. You can also sign up for information on further activities that will follow in due course.

More information

Parliament has decided that the Palace of Westminster will remain its permanent home, after the restoration project is complete. We are working on the detailed restoration plan which will be provided to Parliament for its decision. We want to take your views into account as we develop this plan.
