Bins left on pavement are an issue too. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

This shit takes up too much public space - the car + the charger.

Today is Disabled Day of Mourning, to honor disabled people killed by caregivers. Fellow journalists, when we write about these situations, we need to clearly call it murder, and not through a"poor caregiver" lens.

How wonderful to be able to share this.
Families in Exeter who have children with additional needs might find this helpful.

Now to get streets and junctions ready to welcome them...

A🧵about Pedal Bins in #disability toilets:

1) Having used said toilets over past 4 weeks I’ve found a major flaw in ALL bar one
Pedal bins
With no other way to open them except with a foot

On my ride yesterday. I can suspect what they *thought* the purpose of this bollard was, but it actually makes it surprisingly difficult to pass by bike, and impossible for any other modified bike.
A metal bollard which makes a modal filter passable only to bikes.

We've ✉️ Devon&CornwallPolice asking them if they're aware of concerns about disabled people's legal mobility devices being confiscated & ➡️ them to @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk resources.

We've not heard of any local issues but didn't want any problems to arise in future.

Phase 1's already making it easier to navigate #Exeter

🧑‍🦯= "I find this a lot easier walking through triangle car park with my Guide Dog now"

Isn't that great?

Funny how pro-car activists often suggest anything helpful for people cycling is anti-disabled & anti-visual impairment

We're excited by Phase1 Newtown #Exeter. For disabled cyclists using a recumbent cycle, the previous arrangement crossing between parked cars & limited visibilty was unsafe for #disabledcycling. We imagine it would've been so for children too. Hurray for these small changes.

Is the walk & scoot to school better now?
Is your journey to the hospital easier? Is it easier to cross the road on a mobility scooter. We'd love to know.

Because a large percentage of people with a #disability who need to use #disabled toilets CANNOT USE THEIR FEET
