Add teeth to the Disability act 2010

If there's no parish or town council there will be a local authority and you will have a local councillor. It might be a bit late for him/her to make a campaigning issue out of this, but from personal experience, I know that a councillor seeking re-election, or a new candidate would happily take it on and bring the press along for a photo-op. Cynical? Moi?

I didn't know that.

How does that work then,, I thought everybody had a council/councillor.

Genuinely interested to know I am not being snide or confrontational.

Last post was to Pogs

X- post Vamps, not every area has a parish/ town council

Did you mean locked or blocked or both? My opinion FWIW is to write to your local councillor on whatever authority manages the park. Copy in the local authority . I would advise not mentioning the point about not paying council tax - their parents do. The appropriate legislation is the a Equality Act 2010. It might be helpful for you to suggest solutions as you have here - eg dropping the curb ( cheap and easy) and some notices about bikes. Is there somewhere else the children/ young people can ride safely in the park? If you don't mind publicity, the local paper IME jumps at stories like this - good photo op with sad faced dgc and mobility scooter. also IME you will do all this and get anodyne letters back and nothing will change because our society is inherently disabilist Good luck - this better to have fought and lost than never to have fought at all - that is utter bollocks

Did the attendant lock the gates knowing that people were still in the park?

What time was it?

You need to contact your local Councillor and ask him/her to look into this for you.

It sounds as though your area needs separate playgrounds for older and younger children. Perhaps contact a local newspaper too?

No and I use a mobility scooter too.

Have a word with your local Parish/Town Council.

Good luck.

You need to contact your local authority about the playground being inaccessible to you with your granddaughter. And contact your MP about the Act not being adhered to by providing drop kerbs.
