Do you think shops should do more for the disabled

About Me

I am heavily concerned for the needs of the disabled community, manly in Cambridgeshire, UK but extending this more and more to general UK and constant lack bby a lot of the major well known UK chains foir thinking about the needs of the disabled community when planning new premises but also when open placing items which could obstruct access for disabled people.

I've personally got eyesight and co-ordinatoion problems and sometimes getting around can be a real problem for me due to my problerms, and this does mean that using the trains is a no go without assitance which usually has to be booked in advance, but my work with one of the UK's major train companies has changed that and is something which I know has forced them to review their assitance policies, and has put me in good contact with Managment there,

I am also working hard to make UK chains awarte of the needs of people like myself.

So far my work has involved some of the major chains lisited below:
  • Starbucks
  • BHS
  • Debenhams
  • Marks and Spencer
  • Frankie and Benny's
  • Cafe Nero
  • Giraffe Resturants
  • WH Smith
  • HMV
  • H&M
  • Zara UK
  • National Express East Anglia
  • Cambridge City Council
  • Uttlesford District Council
  • St Edmondsbury Borough Council
  • Zavi
  • Peacocks
  • M&Co
  • Stagecoach in Cambridgeshire
  • Sainsburys
  • Tesco's
  • The Mall Shopping Centre Chain
  • Argos
  • Boots
  • Lloyds TSB
  • Suffolk County Council
  • Costa Coffee
  • Harcvrster  Resturants
  • Several other shopping centres.
  • Network Rail
  • Westgate Department Srores
  • TK Maxx
This is to name just a few and this list does go on and on, and I am fully backed by several councils on work I have done, and I have been finding issues that local council access officers have missed, but also I've flagegd access issues where a lift wouldn't be physically possible.

If you havce a problem and need help sorting out, please add a comment or if you can PM me or something through Blogger, please let me know as I have got the contacts and I may well be able to get things moving for you as I have sucseeded in a large number of places and normally nothing gets missed or refused to be acted on.
