We're super grateful to Penarth Youth Action for undertaking a survey of local shops and businesses on #disabledaccess. Their excellent report shows a lot of goodwill, a clear sense of the challenges, and also a need for support and advice. We're on the case! #Penarth #access

Saturday saw the launch of @AccessPenarth, working to make Penarth a disability-friendly town. It was great for us to say a few words about what benefits retailers can reap when the town is accessible by everyone, and Penarth View has signed up to the Access Penarth pledge.

[Access Penarth @AccessPenarth]

@PenarthView We're delighted that you've taken the pledge, @PenarthView - thank you! And we very much appreciated your contribution on Saturday, on behalf of @ShopInPenarth - thanks for that too

Important campaign launched to make Penarth more accessible @AccessPenarth. Great speeches by @JonLuxton @SDoughtyMP @gpgpenarth @SHiP @PenarthCouncil. Impairement is part of life, being disabled is something done by society to you creating inequalities.

@hannahlouisemil Delighted to have your support, Hannah - and looking forward to working with you!

[Access Penarth @AccessPenarth]

Our official launch is tomorrow, 11.30 at West House, with @SDoughtyMP , @JaneHutt, @JonLuxton and others - plus refreshments. And all are very welcome!

Let's make #Penarth the first disability-friendly town!
