Budget is not available for widespread change
A member of the Department of Infrastructure has responded to claims that government is failing to address concerns regarding disabled access across the Island.
As we previously reported, wheelchair user Paul Sullivan presented a notebook filled with specific issues he'd collected over two decades to politicians three years ago, including a lack of drop kerbs at bus stops.
He says not one of these issues has been solved since his meeting in May 2019.
In response, Kerry Sharpe MLC said the department is well aware of the issues and explained the work the department has been doing to tackle them:
