After 20 years as a carer to a severely disabled young person, I’m now facing barriers I’ve never faced before. Everywhere I go, the answer is “Nimbus.”
No card? No carer entry. No PIP. No Blue Badge. No Carer’s Allowance accepted.
That’s gatekeeping & it’s deeply worrying.

https://t.co/lVRQ0BcgTQ https://t.co/rBQbxLxiHy. Lord Falconer claims his new amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults bill are stronger. There are not. They are unpicking amendments MPs fought for to protect disabled and vulnerable people. I tried to raise this but there

@LNER@ChangingPlaceUK @jowhite__ With respect - the above should not take 18 months! Other stations have managed this effectively and their CP toilets are now open.
Very rarely do I post on here…. But I am just so disappointed with @LNER#ChangingPlaces at #Retford station. This brand new facility has been locked up for over 18 months now! This is not fair on those who need to use it. @ChangingPlaceUK @jowhite__
@LNER@ChangingPlaceUK @jowhite__ I’m sorry but 18 months from its completion is totally unacceptable. It should not have taken this long. If these were standard toilets, the matter would have been sorted within days…. @ChangingPlaceUK
@jowhite__ @LNER@ChangingPlaceUK Thank you , I know many of you have been putting pressure on @LNER behind the scenes, but I just don’t understand what the delay is. 18 months is totally unacceptable.
