There is plenty of coverage of how badly wheelchair users are looked after on public transport and at various venues. I've seen this first hand with my wife Lit who is a wheelchair user.
This was a post from Facebook sent to me by a friend of mine Iain who campaigns to raise awareness on such issues. It's from a user called Steve Skillin.
"Yesterday I went to watch my rugby team Wasps play Worcester Warriors in Worcester. First time there, booked accessibility place and disabled parking.
On arrival the Carpark steward directed me to my space and offered help in getting my scooter out of the car. Then across the road to the stadium, had to go through the main reception, there I was met by another steward who directed me, opening doors to a lift. Up to the first floor met by another steward who took me to the accessibility area. There met by another steward who turned out to be an angel. Ask my name and directed me to my spot. Every ten minutes she came and check on me, offered to go and get me food and trick, which was much appreciated. This continued for the whole game.
The same happened in reverse at the end of the game.
Well done to Worcester Warriors for looking after the disabled so well and employing little angels like my steward.
I shall be emailing the club to complement them.
Wouldn’t it be good if all places behaved like this.
Oh, Wasps won 20-21, happy Waspie."
