@arrivanorthwest just quick question if a wheelchair user is on the bus and the bus has a pram and wheelchair space (2 Spaces) is a pram allowed on also? Driver told pram no. Either wheelchair or pram despite 2 separate spaces
31 years ago today this album changed our lives. It was great recording it in New York as four lads from Bradford who coulda never dreamed of what it all meant for us.
@LaikaTone I remember seeing you all on TOTP when it looked like you pulled a piece of paper with the words on out of your pocket mid song! I was a teenager at the time. This album has been a regular part of my life since its release and introduced to many people who hadn’t heard it!
I have finally finished my @tincanknits#tincanknitsflaxaran sweater! I knit this is Yarnsmiths Daydream which is a dream to knit with. I have managed to disappoint myself though as I was convinced there was a TinCanKnits Flax Cardigan which I was going to make next! Oops!
@paulierunner@lpoolcouncil@William_OldSwan True, but if you look at bold street for example, the places with tables and chairs out take up all the pavement space and then have bollard type things marking their “territory” taking up the little that is left.
@lpoolcouncil@William_OldSwan Bold Street has to be the worst though for street furniture taking up all the pavement leaving little or none to actually use if you have limited mobility. I have taken to just moving the tables and chairs out of the way, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere up there!
@lpoolcouncil@William_OldSwan It doesn’t help that even when there is a dropped kerb it’s still high enough to prevent wheelchair access, that is when people haven’t parked over it. Oh and all the pavements being super sloped towards the road so you have to majorly compensate just to go in a straight line!

We went out with Cllr @William_OldSwan to look at the challenges wheelchair, pram and pushchair users face in Liverpool.

Hate to ask this @AldiUK but what is the point in having wheelchair accessible trolleys when they do not fit through your own checkouts? I literally had to leave husband inside with the shopping and go out the “in” door and then in the “out” door just to get to the end of the 1/2
2/2 checkout. There is one checkout which the disabled trolleys fit through which is never open. It’s bad enough not being able to access parts of your shop because stock is blocking the aisles.
POV: you’re a wheelchair user and the staff haven’t turned up with a ramp, so you’re trapped on an empty train.
The emergency alarm is out of my reach so I have to rely on my shouting skills.
How would you feel if there was a risk of this happening every time you use the train?
