POPSBlackpool not disabled friendly.
The evidence is overwhelming. Carrying on from the woeful Labour regime, this soporific administration has done nothing for the disabled. When the National Servicemen told the Council that the organisation for their disabled members was inadequate, they were attacked. Try getting an 18 stone former regular soldier onto a bur with his wheel chair. As often as not you cannot, because their is a pram already on the bus. The Disabilities Act requires the Transport Authorities to make available disabled spaces. Only Stagecoach in this area enforces the Law and requires young adults to fold away their carriages and sit their children on their laps. I would love to be able to do this with the 18 stone gentleman, but I cannot. All the disabled ask for is their RIGHTS underwritten in Law. Unfortunately, it is not the young parent who is the pariah, but it is usually the elderly who have no conception of what it is like to be imprisoned in a wheel-chair, the problems that carers have

POPSLabor and Brough roughed up by carers No policies, just a little handout to shut up the carers and their disabled family members. The situation is the result of a non caring government over the past decade.

POPSProtecting Children or Covering Corporate Arses? Children should be protected from any threat - few would disagree. However the increasing social pressure to "vet" adults who work with young people undermines the adult / child relationship & fosters an atmosphere of presumed threat where little actually exists. The vast majority of child abuse by adults occurs within families (I speak from personal childhood experience). Stranger danger is thankfully a very, very, very rare occurrence.
