My council are (swear word)

I didn’t ask them to pay for anything, only where I can park it , if I paid to have a ramp built they can tell me to remove it.

What about a ramp to help with the high step?

Councils have no money now and they probably have no one qualified to answer your questions as those kinds of people have been made redundant.

Having just returned to the NE, I'm most impressed with the work of the councils in Newcastle and Gateshead since we left in 2000.
They have improved the area in many ways, mainly by developing open spaces to be calming environments.
I don't think they will ever overcome the basic problems of poverty etc, but seem to be trying to bring some self-respect to Tyneside.

Annie The mind boggles checking on a safety gate for your little dog,would they come out and check if you had a toddler visiting ?
Hoping you get it resolved and you enjoy being out and about soon.

Panache, diawled came to mind .

Cherry, they are a nightmare.

I haven’t bought the scooter yet, can’t have it in the bungalow, a path outside the bedroom window at the front but a high step to the front path to the road, , a good size garden at the rear but would have to ride it on grass to get to the front path and that would mean a scooter over £3,000

I had to have permission to put a baby gate at the front door in case Lotty did a runner, then they checked the gate to see if it was suitable !

I was about to say unbelievable after reading your post through Anniebach..............but then stopped just in time..........of course you are dealing with the Council.......and others of a similar bunch of.............(Is there a welsh word that would fit the space???!!!)...............

If you are thinking of a mobility scooter I feel a great joy........because it will enable you to get out and about.
So please persue this idea ......there maybe a few hurdles but with your determination, I am sure you will cross each one and come out on top.

Good luck.......do let us know what happens with the Jobs worth crowd!!!

Annie you should have inserted swear word in Welsh.
I bet HQ wouldn't have had a Scooby Doo
I do glad to read that you have a scooter excellent way to get about.
Hope the brakes are in good working order or you will be whizzing down those hills!

By the way what a load of plonkers.

Do you have a flat area next to your house as I am assuming it an electric scooter and will need to a charging point?

The staff are paid, I am not

Yes, I think you must be very frustrated. You can't be the first person to ask this so I expect the staff at the Council find it frustrating too. Apart from those with power, the employees have no choice but to give you these hopeless answers.

I feel your frustration Annie
Bunch of jobs worths !
