Writing in support

I am a carer myself, and also have to deal with disabled people in the job that I do on a regular basis.

I work for a large hotel chain and we are trained how to look after disabled people – blind, deaf, and learning disabilities included – so when anybody walks through the front door, which is ramped, with no trip hazards, everybody get treated the same.

We have a hearing loop on the front desk and also in our health suite, and there are ramps and platform lifts to make life easy for disabled people to get around on the ground floor.

This is just a small amount of what we have to make it easy for our guests to get around, plus our adapted rooms have all that disabled people would expect.

I would have thought that Arun District Council would be making sure that disabled people could go out and do and go where able-bodied people can go.

I think that Mr Dunne’s organisation, the Arun Access Group, seems to be doing more than Arun.

I feel that, as a volunteer-only group, I will attend your meeting and if I can be of any help to you or any business in the area, please let me know.
