Sounds to me that EB wants the accessability work to be done to fit HER scooter et al. What about those needing access when EB is dead.

***********************
There is no part of the town hall that is not accessible to the public at any time.
Doors open at the touch of a button.
A dais is prepared , with microphone on a stand , for any person with a physical challenge who wishes to address Council.
Equipment is available for anyone who has hearing difficulties. All they have to do is ask.
The town has appointed an Accessibility Committee according to the terms of reference of the Accessibility Act.
An employee on the payroll is described as Accessibilty manager.
The committee has authority to strike a budget. Council has authority to assign a budget allocation.
The committee decides how best to use the funds to improve accessibility within town facilities.
At Tuesday's meeting, at the end of the interminable wrangle that passes for debate, I asked the question:
What part of the Council Chamber or any of its amenities is not accessible to any person with physical challenges?
Total silence was the response.
E.B. is not dead yet. If I were you, I would not be concerned about that.
You may not be around to worry .

There have been no complaints received The issue is just the red herring of the day - until they find a new one to drag around the room.
Me, I've never seen anyone with problems navigating the room. It's as good as any of the hospital & most of the schools. [ St. Andrews need more work ].
