Compromise
During my lifetime, three members of my family have had to take to wheelchairs and, in pushing them along various roads, a small problem I came across was there special ridged slabs had been installed to warn those of limited vision that this was where the road could be crossed – fine for them, but agony for anyone in a wheelchair.
The door to the Gazette office, which was entered for this letter to be delivered, lies back, but you could not lower the entrance, and until the powers-that-be stipulate such facilities, that is how it will remain.

- Editor’s note: for the record, we have a portable ramp at the Gazette office which can be used by anyone wishing to visit our office in a wheelchair.
