A council has been accused of using underhand tactics to cut millions of pounds from support packages and push disabled people into residential care, despite being forced to withdraw a controversial policy that could have had the same impact.

@flickhwilliams @yorkpress @labouryork @CityofYork @katielomas99 Did they run out of white pedestrian crossing paint -we go across the segregated from 🚲 straight into an unconstrained cycle lane.. how is that supposed to work 🤔 ‘controlled’ for 🚗🚍but not for 🚲’
We are at mercy of cars & bikes stopping all over this scheme…

[Flick Williams @flickhwilliams]

@GSwinburn @yorkpress @labouryork @CityofYork @katielomas99 I’m at a loss as to how so many aspects of this design were deemed ‘an improvement’. I believe the whole scheme is fundamentally flawed. There was insufficient community involvement at the outset & it went to planning during second lockdown.

[Flick Williams @flickhwilliams]

York station revamp will make it 'less accessible for disabled people' and it’s way worse than this now old picture suggests !https://t.co/Th6P5BvQXy

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The government is finally taking further steps towards introducing laws that would set a higher standard of accessibility for nearly all new homes in England.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The government tried this week to persuade the UN that it has made “progress” since being found guilty of “grave and systematic violations” of the disability rights convention, just as MPs prepared to undermine one of its key claims.

I’ve spoken
out previously about the scandal of locking people up with learning disabilities. Thank you @itvnews for covering this story.

Time has run out! ⏳

The Government is set to miss its target for reducing the number of people with a learning disability and/or autistic people in mental health hospitals by 50% by March 2024.

Waste of lives, waste of money, where's the plan? [1/2]
