It seems that our firms that convert vehicles for wheelchair use could soon be put out of business by new EU rules.

Another blunder in the making.

A curious reversal of the position regarding buildings, which by law now have to be built with full accessiblity for wheelchair users, even if none are employed there..

no........... someone notices something like this..... it goes in the press... therein follows big hoo-hah..... the cretin that should have dealt with it properly in the first place, then does so, because his/her bosses bend their ear.......
and we're all back to normal

A pal of mine, who has run one of this businesses for many years, sold it to a competitor about 12 months ago.
Perhaps he knew something we didn't...:-)

Somehow I doubt if this will be the case. Rules is rules, and civil servants will ensure these rules are strictly enforced (unlike all other EU states).

I think Dr Stephen Ladyman will do something about this. He did lobby hard for common sense over the issue of mirrors on trucks, but his department led him down by not keeping the press informed of his progress. Obviously solving a problem for the disabled would be another feather in his cap.
