1st trip out to put in a prescription. Food delivery workers need to understand dropped kerbs are not ramps to #PavementPark on tactile paving, obstructing this older pedestrian & this wheelchair user left with insufficient room to turn to cross. 😤😡

Being asked which is worse bypass or boarder cycle lane isn't valid in my book. Asking about shared space was the last straw, as it's been found to be unsafe.

Many blind people are shouted at, have their white canes pulled from their hands, broken or hit. It’s a hidden problem.

The holes in your argument are myriad. But probably could cyclists just not follow the Highway Code & ride legally/safely?
Assisted dying debate terrifying for disabled people, says actress Liz "blue tick" Carr bbc.co.uk/news/uk-689510…
WARNING We've been filming the chaotic & downright dangerous situation at the Westminster Bridge floating bus stop at St Thomas' hospital. Clip includes a speeding cyclist crashing into an elderly person. These designs are not safe & they need to be urgently halted Mark Harper
And of course, during my week in the alternate reality of hospital, fighting for safe access to care, the daily grind of disability discrimination in the wider world continues unabated…
There really are no days off from being disabled wherever you are !
