Will Pike was injured during the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai and is now paralysed below the waist.
Will is campaigning to change the face of the high street and make it a more welcoming and accessible place for everyone. His film highlights the fact that too many shops and restaurants are off limits to wheelchair users.
Please sign his petition demanding that the two major high street chains featured in his film (Café Nero and American Apparel) install better disabled access into their outlets. A copy of the petition will also be sent to The Equality and Human Rights Commission ( EHRC ) to ask them to pursue the issue with these companies. He wants the EHRC to play a much more active role in enforcing compliance with the Equality Act by investigating companies and using its enforcement powers, including taking them to court if necessary, to ensure they make their buildings as accessible as possible.
