Mobility nightmare for disabled man

[annie]

WHEELCHAIR-BOUND Wayne Graham’s move to a new home has turned into a mobility nightmare because he has lost his independence.

He cannot get into his specially-adapted van because of motorists parking in the way of his dropped kerb.

The 43-year-old cerebral-palsy sufferer is now calling for a clearly-marked and legally-enforceable disabled parking bay outside his flat to allow him to get out and about

However, a dispute between Blackburn with Darwen Council and Twin Valley Homes over who is responsible for marking out the protected space has stopped his route to freedom.

Mr Graham said he just wants someone to tackle the issue and ensure he can use his Vauxhall Vivaro without his carer Andrew Trigg having to carry him to and from the vehicle

No one ever knows who is responsible when something needs doing.

I hope this gets sorted, why dont people think. They seem to have become very selfish.
