Has your town or city centre been changed due to the coronavirus crisis and has this limited or affected your ability to access it in any way?
Activist group Disabled People Against Cuts is compiling a dossier that they hope to present to local authorities to encourage them to not make alterations that adversely affect disabled people.
Changes already noted include floating bus stops or measures to make more space for tables or bikes which make it unsafe for wheelchair users and people with a visual impairment. Blue badge spaces may have been suspended or permanently lost and you may no longer be able to park close enough to shops or essential services or have been forced to miss an appointment etc..
If any changes have been detrimental to you please email DPAC with details of the problem you had, the changes and when they were made (if you know) and the location/town/area at mail@dpac.uk.net
If you would like to learn more about actions taken in this area you can join DPAC Sheffield.
