One of the things I have been working closely with the Oscott Residents Disabled Group on, is trying to get local shop keepers and the Council to improve shop frontages in the Oscott area.
Hawthorn Road is a typical example. Although the Council carried a number of pavement improvements some year ago, some Hawthorn Road shop keepers have not improved their frontages and they have deteriorated . These frontages are now uneven and can be a trip hazard even for those who are not disabled.
Many elderly or disabled residents who rely on using wheel or motorised scooter's, often have to put up with a bumpy ride when crossing these uneven frontages.
Along with George Hough the Chair of the ODG I am continuing to try and get the Council to put pressure on some shop keeper in the area, to do the right thing by their elderly and disabled customers.
